It’s been a couple months since my last letter.   Things are slower in the summer.   I’ve been working on getting to know the Property, Finance, and Stewardship committee members and the Church Council.   I also crashed a Ministry & Missions Board meeting and I was allowed to visit Adult Education. June and July Financial Results They look good for late summer.   For the first three months of Fiscal Year 2019 (May thru July), ·          Total Revenue received is $185,300 and we budgeted $163,200 ·          Total Expenses are $179,000 and we budgeted $184,100. ·          That puts us $6,300 in the black where we expected to be $20,900 in the red.

CUC Treasurer's Report for May/June 2018

  Thank you, Congregation, for inviting me to serve you again as Treasurer. Introductions I'm Dwight Rudolph. I was your Treasurer from 1998 thru 2000, during the run-up and fundraising for the previous church remodeling.  I was your business manager from roughly 2003 to 2011.   In both those roles I was also bookkeeper.  This time, Lindsey Stevenson is bookkeeper and business manager.  I'll be representing you to the finance, church property, and stewardship committees, providing an additional sanity check on budgeting and spending, and representing those committees to the church Council.  Lindsey will work far harder than I will, and I'm okay with that. My education is as an electrical engineer, and I've worked most of my career as a computer analyst / programmer / whatever the stylish title is.  I'm currently in the last few years of my career, working for a local gas exploration and production company. I alternate between the 8 AM and 10 AM service
