Ladies’ Club Father Peter, Brothers and Sisters In Christ, It has been a year like no other. We were able to have two meetings this year. We did have Father speak to us about the saints that were coming up for the month when we had our meetings. We did pay our yearly dues to the NAB along with giving $l,000 to the NAB project. We were not able to have any fund raiser this year. We did get donations for making Holy Bread for people. Since they will be working on our church foundation issue, we will not be able to have a Fatiyah sale this year or at least in the near future. Hopefully, we will be able to have a project to contribute additional funds for the NAB project. God has plans that the building gets fixed since we are all going through the COVID-19 pandemic. We pray that this year we will be able to have meetings and social gatherings; however, we need to stay safe for now and social distance. We pray God will get things back to normal and 2021 will be a good year. God’s blessings. Judy Stevens
Maintenance Committee The members of the maintenance committee are Father Peter, Deana Bottei, George Stickney, Sr., Nick Corey and Mike Jacobs. I was asked to chair the committee on or about July 8, 2020. I wish to acknowledge the able and tireless efforts of De Bottei who preceded me as the chair. She continues to clean the church on a weekly basis. All the other committee members have similarly made significant contributions to the efforts of the committee and those efforts are likewise appreciated. The following is a list of tasks (in no particular order) which have been identified and/or undertaken in 2020. These projects have been funded in large measure through the Building Fund. This was established by the parish council using the proceeds received from the sale of the parish house. 1. Nina’s Nursery was painted and updated. We do have a $6,800.00 bid from Mpire Heating & Cooling to add an air handler and air conditioning to Nina’s Nursery. No action has been taken on that bid. 2. We entered into a Preventative Maintenance Agreement with Mpire for the HVAC system at a cost of $4,600.00 per year. Mpire is to provide quarterly filter changeouts on all equipment, seasonal changeover of chiller and boilers, cleaning of condensers and operational checks of all mechanical equipment. On December 30, it was discovered that the heat exchanger on one of the boilers was clogged beyond repair. Ac-
