In the past, this has raised almost $400 so it is well worth the effort. Any and all types of baking are welcome. We ask that you please price your baking in advance. St James’ Budget Deficit A review of our finances at Parish Council has revealed an alarming trend. Despite stable attendance and expenses, donations have declined by 13% between 2013 and 2014. At the present time, we have an operating deficit of $3,500. Our operating reserve is now below $0 and money is being borrowed from the Building Fund, which is needed to keep the building in good repair. In order to maintain solvency, donations need to return to 2013 levels and this has to continue into 2015. To address the current deficit will require WEEKLY donations to be increased by $13.00 per family from now until the end of the year or by a one-time additional donation of $115.00. In 2015, weekly donations need to increase by $2.50 per family or $10.00 per month. Can you help? Please consider asking for a weekly offering envelopes or participating in PAR (pre-authorized remittance). All donations are tax deductible. Speak to Glenn concerning donation options. Craft Club now on Monday nights at 6:45 pm Consider learning some new crafting skills in the new year. All are welcome to join and bring a friend too. Please let Brenda Ramsden know a few days in advance if you plan to attend so she can arrange for adequate supplies for everyone. Looking to be baptized in 2014?
