There was a fairly good turnout of dedicated parishioners and three guests at the Annual Meeting on January 29. We reviewed the past year and took a peek at what’s coming down the road in 2012. Jack Curtis presented a challenging budget that will be a stretch to meet. But St. Matthew’s folks always have a way of getting things done. Where there is any need, it gets met. Elections were held for Vestry, Day School Board, and Diocesan Convention Delegates:

Vestry – Mary Cruz, Jan Ragsdale, Karon Bonnell
Senior Warden-Karen Lang
Junior Warden-Gary Niccum (again!)
Day School Board – Charles Smith and Mary Niccum
Delegates to Diocesan Convention-Natalie Reeve and Jennifer Plunk (Alternates are John McGarr and Cindy Theis)

The ECW Silent Auction was a lot of fun and raised $911. Many thanks to all who donated devotional books, note cards, pottery, paintings, aprons, mittens, figurines, coffee sets and pies, cakes, cookies, peanut brittle, brownies, jam and heavenly homemade bread! I finally bid enough this year to win a loaf of real live bread made at home with loving hands AND a plate of Cindy Theis’s chocolate chip cookies! Oh rapture!
