Club Business and Announcements

FHUMC staff reported a recent break-in at the church, and they urged us to please take the following safety precautions.  Leave the hallway lights on at night.  Don't walk to the parking lot alone; go in groups.  If you see anyone suspicious or threatening, don't hesitate to call the police.  Hopefully this was an isolated incident but please be careful when visiting the building at night.

Our first officers' meeting of the 2014-15 club year was held before the club meeting.
  • Ani will be forming a committee to increase membership and reduce absenteeism.
  • Janet and Rachel will form a committee to plan BET's 25th anniversary celebration, currently targeting September 30.

Please contact them with questions or ideas.
