The canons of the church state that to serve on a vestry, a person must be an adult confirmed communicant in good standing and an eligible voter of the parish. Vestry persons are elected to represent the parish membership in temporal matters and to make wise and prayerful decisions concerning the life and ministry of the local church. Vestry elections are held each year at the annual parish meeting. The term of office is traditionally three years. In the case of a vacancy during the year, the vestry may elect a new member to serve the unexpired term. The Rector of the parish presides at all meetings. In addition, the vestry upon nomination by the Rector, elects two of its members, one as Senior Warden and one as Junior Warden. The Senior Warden serves as the legal representative of the parish and is in charge of all church activities in the absence of the rector. The Junior Warden traditionally is responsible for the maintenance and well-being of all the buildings and grounds. In addition, the vestry elects a Clerk, who is not necessarily a member of the vestry. The task of this person is to record the minutes of the proceedings, preserve all records and belonging to the parish, and to attest the public acts of the vestry. Lastly, the vestry elects a Treasurer, who may or may not be a member of the vestry. This person's responsibility is to receive, disburse, and account for the funds of the parish. The Vestry meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Current Vestry Members Terms expiring January 2010 Mary Lou Boehme (Senior Warden) Mike McQuaid (Junior Warden) Sylvia Saxon Sherry Willard (Clerk) Terms expiring January 2011 Newt Beck Dale Call Susan Crane (Treasurer) Wes Hawn Terms expiring January 2012 Tom Barstow Bruce Randall Judith Teele Susan Wesley | |||||||||
