Rev. Moyer shared his Executive Director’s Report with the Board verbally. He informed every one of his plans to attend the Great Mission Convocation. He is also working on his article for the Crier, travel team follow-up, and calling contacts on the OAFC list to create an updated list. Rev. Moyer reported that Pastor Mueller was going to Asia, and felt that OAFC could include a report of his work there.
OLD BUSINESS
The home office is down to its last bunch of OAFC Piano Scorebooks. OAFC
requested copyright permission to print 1,000 new Piano Scorebooks. Dan reported
that things are moving quickly. The plan is to print the Scorebooks in the
Athens Office around the time of Thanksgiving.
NEW BUSINESS
Rev. Ruhlig, as treasurer, requested the board
make a decision to satisfy IRS requirements for the percent of salary allocated
to housing. It was recommended by Rev. Ruhlig that OAFC continue with the same
salary allocations that we have at present and that we give Dan Barz a 2% salary
raise. Nathan made the motion that Dan Barz receive a 2% salary raise and that
the housing allotments remain the same as the previous year for Rev. Ruhlig and
Dan Barz. Debbie seconded and the motion carried.
Discussion and approval of the 2006 budget will occur at the meeting in January.
Nathan informed the board that he has submitted an article to the Lutheran Witness about OAFC to raise an awareness of our ministry.
The January meeting has been scheduled for January 6-7 in Galesburg, IL.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:43 p.m. Rev. Moyer closed the meeting in prayer.
