Matters of Business:
- Finances
Our treasurer reported a current balance of $2,783.87. Recent income was received from: 1) donations at the Tioga County Fair ($33.35), & 2) Grace Fellowship Church's baby bottles ($42.00). Recent expenses were: 1) $162.72 for New Testaments for use at EMPCC [in both the Canton and Towanda offices], & 2) $60.00 to sponsor a table at EMPCC's banquet.
- Endless Mountains Pregnancy Care Center (EMPCC)
Three Kershners attended their banquet on October 27, in Canton, PA. Showed others the program from this event, which had about 75 in attendance.
- Baby Bottle fund raisers
Nothing new.
- Harrisburg Office
Handed out "Chapter Focus" newsletter.
Decided to send their office $150, which we did last year about this time.
- Literature tables at local fairs
Discussed purchasing a smaller fetal monitor set [displays tiny babies at 7-10 weeks of development], at a cost of about $60, for use at next year's fairs: postponed decision until spring, when we would normally order other materials.
Noted that the DVD, "Reversing Roe - the Norma McCorvey Story," is available for about $25.
- Other
The bus for the March on Washington (Tuesday, January 22, 2008), now has financial sponsors; and therefore will be reserved by Holy Child Catholic Church. Approved the sponsorship of $200 from our funds, that will cover bus costs for any from our group that want to attend, plus possibly some others.
Noted regretfully that the locally-heard classical radio station has aired ads by Planned Parenthood.
Next meeting: Thursday, Dec 13, 2007, at 7:30PM (in board room).
Adjournment: At 8:08PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
K Kershner, Secretary
