Next topic:

Discussed the Pledge Committee that has been appointed the previous 2 years. Question was raised as we have been doing it this way and probably will this year, then we should consider changing the bylaws to add this as a permanent committee. Needs further discussion. Stephen suggested that the Trustee’s support the pledge committee with the letters and phone calls, etc. Letters need to go out in March. Need preliminary cut at the budget.

Discussed the lack of checking the fire extinguishers on a regular (monthly) basis. All of the fire extinguishers are checked/recharged or replaced on a annual basis thru a contract we have with a fire extinguisher company in the south bay. After the meeting they were checked in upper and lower Whitaker. Similar concern was made about the checking of the Lighted Exit signs with re-chargeable battery backup. All 6 signs where checked in both buildings and one unit was found to have a defective battery. This battery will be replaced before the next meeting.

Next Meeting: Thursday March 5th at 7:30pm downstairs in Whitaker.

The Meeting was adjourned at 9:15PM after a prayer from Stephen.

Respectfully submitted by Brian Wood,
