Annual Meeting
Our Annual meeting was held Feb. 11, 2018. View our annual report here. We also have an updated version of the budget presentation from the annual meeting. Recall that we presented the budget as a work-in-progress since there were still some outstanding accounting items from 2017. The vestry approved the final version in the February meeting, so the 2018 budget is shown on the following pages.
