BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The December meeting of the Board of Directors was called to order on December 15th by President Diane Preuss. Devotions were led by Pastor Bill Johnson.

Ruth Van Auken presented the Church Finance Report for consideration. Ruth will continue to do books the first four months of 2010 (through tax season), then Joyce Coffman will take over.

Margaret Diaz presented information regarding potential lease agreements for the Thrifty Threads storefront. No agreement has been reached at this point and Margaret asked for ideas and prayer.

Randy Schade continued with the presentation and explanation of a document giving an overview of timeline transition and proposals for the transition of the Pueblo West Christian Academy. The document, prepared by Joy Cress, Pastor Bill Johnson, and Randy Schade, reviewed five options for the consideration of the Board of Directors. Board members are asked to read the document for ourselves, develop a timeline, and consider the recommendations made in the document. Extended discussion with a question and answer period addressed many issues, including: the direction the board may take, fact-finding, recommendations, background on the Cowboy Church (Joy) and the need for a board meeting for further discussion of this issue before a vote in January 2010.

Joy Cress reported (in relation to the school expansion discussion) that the PWCA needs to secure a 501©3 to give her the parameters to move ahead. This would require an ID with the name of the school. Joy also reported information regarding increased daycare needs in the community due to the closing of many daycare centers.

Board members were asked to mark calendars for future Board meeting on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00PM. A tentative time of January 5th at 7:00PM was set for the Board to further discuss the school expansion options
