2013-02-04 Support Committee Minutes

Jubilee House Support Committee Minutes
February 4, 2013
At FOH



Present:  Dale Ritchie, Jeff Hoover, Carmen Kingsley, Mary Miller, Suella Gerber, Art Stoltzfus.

Excused:  Margaret Delucancy and Anne Mitchell

1.              Welcome:  The meeting started by having each person share an experience when they have experienced hospitality/welcome.

2.               Local Program Coordinator (LPC) Job Description:  A revised draft of the job description was reviewed.  Suella expressed her willingness to continue as LPC, assuming that some of the responsibilities are shared among other members of the Support Committee.  Mary agreed to continue to take the lead in orienting new MVSers to the Elkhart community.   Art agreed to take the lead in being the contact person with the placement agencies. There was some discussion about greater involvement with finances, but in the end we agreed that the responsibility belongs to the household, with regular reporting to the support committee.

3.              Painting on the upstairs bedroom was completed with the assistance of John Gerber.  It was reported that the walls are in poor condition. It was suggested that we schedule a time for PSMC trustees (or other?) to “inspect” the house before MVSers move out, and prepare the house for the new MVSers.

4.              Dinner at Jubilee House:  Suella will contact the house to determine if there can be a consistent date every other month, perhaps the second Monday of the month, for the Support Committee and MVSers to share a meal. 


5.              Next meeting: Monday, April 8 at 5:30 at FOH.
