Members of the Vestry of Christ Church New Brighton met on Monday, September 8 for their regular monthly meeting. Following is a brief recap of important issues that were discussed that evening and decisions which were made.

• The investment committee has advised that we are now getting back into the stock market. This involved the sale of the R.J. Reynolds bond in order to purchase shares of stock.
• The Grant Committee is working to secure additional funding, especially in terms of securing money to support our youth programs.
• Christ Church realized a $6400 profit from our June 2003 Spring Fair.
• Monies donated in memory of Charlotte Mills and Dorothy Campbell were used to have their names engraved in the panel on the main altar. The remainder of these donations was given to the Camp and Scholarship fund.
• The Project Hospitality sleep over project has not yet begun - several issues still need to be resolved before the program can get underway.
• Responses from the parish long range planning surveys are being reviewed and a list of parishioner responses will be posted in the Guild Room once they have been compiled.

The Vestry will meet again on Monday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m. In the interim, approved minutes of the June 9, 2003 meeting have been posted on the parish house bulletin board for those wishing to review them.
