Communications Commission

Meeting Minutes

Monday, December 14, 2009

 

In attendance were all members of this commission:  Lianne Finger, Lynne Hutton, Cindy Rintoul, and Sandy Wall. 

 

The most recent Meeting Minutes are from August 2009.  This Commission did not meet in September or October.  On November 9, Lynne and Sandy met, but had little to discuss. The November 20 deadline for Heart to Heart came and went; the issue was published successfully, although there was no article about the season of Advent. 

 

Heart to Heart

 

We had discussed doing a feature of all new and returning Parish Pastoral Council member (installed in September).  To that end, in late November, a questionnaire was provided to all the members of the PPC.  Frank Smolko (PPC Vice Chair) will aid in getting those returned to us with complete information (before the next deadline, we hope). 

 

Frank asked that when all the questionnaires are completed and returned to us, we compile a summary of PPC members, which could be kept and updated by the PPC each year as terms expire and new members join. 

 

Frank also suggested an annual article about the three major commissions of IHM:  the PPC, the Finance Council, and the Capital Campaign team.  One commission could be featured in each one of the three H2H issues.

 

The next deadline is Friday, February 5, 2010.  Ash Wednesday is February 17; Easter is April 4.  The next issue must include information about Parish Renewal…reminders will be sent to Bob Carr, Wanda Garrett, Fr. Jack and Fr. Joe, and Deacon Wally to submit information as soon as possible.  Reminder will also be sent to Bob Katana to submit information about the Mardi Gras supper and Easter Egg Hunt (if there is one).

 

Web Site

 

There is no new information about updating the Web site. FYI, on December 19, Sandy sent a request to the Web committee to update the “Upcoming Activities” section on the home page: to delete the September dinner/dance information and insert Christmas and New Year’s Mass schedules.

 

PPC Notes

 

Reminder:  PPC meets the fourth Monday of every month with (some exceptions, such as December); the next meeting is January 25, 2010 at 7:00 if anyone cares to attend. 

 

So the PPC meetings can be better planned, we (and all other commissions and committees) have been asked to send our notes, needs, etc. directly to Tom Yaudes (Chair) tdyaudes@aol.com and to Frank Smolko (Vice Chair) nccrabs@earthlink.net  about a week in advance of the PPC meetings. 

 

There being no further business, the meeting was closed with a prayer and dismissed. 

 

Our next meeting will be Monday, January 11, 2010 at 7:15 in the Parlor. 

 

Wishing all a Happy and Blessed New Year!
