OLD BUSINESS
Old Episcopal Burying Ground – The last work day of the year at the OEBG was Saturday, November 7. Turnout was good with about 40 workers showing up, 25 of whom were Transy students. Some plants were move and about 200 new plants were put in, including trees and bushes.

NEW BUSINESS
Fish Fry Dates for Lent – Possible dates for the fish fries are February 12 and 26, and March 4, 11 and 18. February 19 is eliminated as it is the Diocesan convention. We will check with Robert Fugate before finalizing these dates. Alan Garner has volunteered to publicize these events to the community. Menu will be the same as this year. We have also been asked to help clean up after the Shrove Tuesday supper.

Room In The Inn – We would like to host RITI, along with the Junior Daughters of the King, on the second Wednesdays of January, February, and March. We will check with Tom Howard to confirm these dates.

Brides Room – The brides’ room is being renovated following the water damage several months ago. We have volunteered to paint the walls before the installation of the carpet and plan to do this on Thursday, November 19, starting at 8:30 AM.

Announcements – We have $900.77 in the treasury.

The next meeting will be December 12.

Fr. Owens announced that Morning Prayer will be held Monday through Friday at 8 AM during Lent in the Chapel.
