Christian Retreat Center will have been open for 25 years on Sept. 11, 2008. Shirley asked the
board to consider making a substantial contribution to the center and possibly hosting a
picnic close to that weekend. Some contribution ideas that were discussed included
replacing the carpet, freezer, or the mattresses. The board agreed to discuss further at a
later date.

announcements but no decision was made.

asking the Community Action Team volunteer to do the clean-up after each Closura. This

Orientation will be updated.

put the Epiphany Party together. Shirley was able to focus on the message of the play. The

people in attendance. John noted that the play was a bit long because he noticed people
