From the Mission Endowment Fund Committee Chairperson, Michael Taiclet

We’re back!  Hi everyone!  I hope everyone is having a great summer!  I am pleased to announce that MEF is back.  Due to COVID-19 and the church being shut down, it has been two and a half years since our last meeting and three years since our last MEF Award Sunday.  I hope to once again bring back MEF Award Sunday and continue our mission.  I am pleased to welcome Bonnie Sanzenbacher as a MEF Committee member, and Pam Boothe as Secretary for the MEF.  I would like to take this time to thank them both for being willing to come on to help us keep this mission going.  I would also like to thank the Church Council for approving their appointments to the Committee and also for approving the extension of both my term as Chairperson and Lamar Shoemaker’s term as Financial Secretary, so we could stay on and get MEF back on track.  Currently, we are looking for names of any groups and/or charities that you would think might benefit from our MEF Award.  Please let me or any of the MEF Committee members know as soon as possible.  We will be having a meeting sometime soon to discuss future plans, discuss possible candidates, choose an award winner, and other normal business matters.  I hope to have the name of our award winner(s) by the next time I write you.  Also, if you still want to be part of the MEF Committee, there are still two seats available.  We would be glad to have you!  Please let myself or any other member know.  We meet just twice a year and get to give out money!  What can be more fun than that?  It has been a pleasure and honor to be a part of the MEF Committee and I look forward to serving you for two more years!
