NEW BUSINESS
David Cassidy
David Cassidy ’s Devotional Handbook and apron were returned to the church by his family. It was suggested that we mount the apron in a shadow box for display at the church.
Gallery Hop
The theme for the July 15 gallery hop is “America The Beautiful”, sponsored by the Cross committee at Christ Church which will use any proceeds to help build a Habitat House in early 2017. Robert Fugate suggested that The Brotherhood consider cookin g dinner for the gallery hop, consisting of barbeque chicken, baked beans, etc, much on the format of our recent fish fries at Lent, the proceeds going to the Cross committee for use to help fund the building of the Habitat House. Cross has about $5,000 f or use for this project but needs about $5,000 more to meet the church’s obligation.
John Hodgman
John Hodgman has resigned as Facilities Manager effective immediately, due to health reasons. The Brotherhood may be called upon to help with John’s work u ntil other arrangements can be made.
Several members expressed concern that The Brotherhood and its activities are not well known to the congregation, some parishioners thinking that is a closed organization. Fr. Owens will help increase our image by prov iding articles and photos of our activities in church publications and announcements periodically from the pulpit.
