A Note to Accompany the Budget
Our Treasurer, Maia Graham-Derham, presented this budget to Vestry (and Vestry accepted it) as her best guesses going into the third year of unknowns due to the pandemic.
Maia has continued to pay our bills, enter our financial data, deal with our banking, and other Treasurer and Bookkeeping tasks throughout 2021, whether we were meeting in person or not. She has done this while working, often from home, and parenting, often while her children were home due to the pandemic. We recognize that it was at no small cost to her life and wellbeing.
It is Vestry’s intention to very soon hire a bookkeeper to do many of the tasks that Maia has been doing, to free her up to participate in our church family in other ways. She will continue on in the role of Treasurer, with less of the Bookkeeper part. On behalf of the parish, I thank Maia for her faithful work this past year!
