Absent: Kathy Clausen
The meeting was called to order at 11:30 a. m.
Rick Gore answered questions about the property at 67 State Road, which the building committee and various vestry members had already visited. He presented drawings of the space and a list of expenses likely to be incurred in renting and fixing it up (see attachments). The goal, he said, would be to have an office and meeting space for Grace Church open by October 1. This is a particularly important goal since our Parish Profile will need to be completed by then, and prospective candidates for rector would need to know there is such an office/meeting space available to him or to her. It would also give Grace Church a physical presence in the community.
The vestry unanimously agreed to rent the space at 67 State Road for five years. (Kathy Clausen emailed her “yes” vote prior to the meeting.)
The meeting adjourned at 11:50 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Sally N. Brooke
