2012 Annual Report and 2013 Budget:

Under the Bylaws, any Active Member may nominate other persons to fill any of these vacancies, but must do so by providing written notice to the Council of Elders. All nominations require the consent of the individual nominated and should be received by the Council Chairs no later than February 3, 2013.

Active members who cannot attend the meeting will be able to vote by proxy or absentee ballot. If you are an active member and cannot attend, please consider the following:

• Voting by Proxy: This method is preferred since a proxy counts toward a quorum. Please complete a proxy form and have your designee bring it to the Annual Meeting. 

• Voting by Absentee Ballot: An absentee ballot does not count towards our quorum, but does enable you to vote. Absentee Ballots must be returned to the Welcome Center or church office by 11:30am on February 10.
