The Capital Campaign Commit-tee is pleased to announce that a consultant for St. Paul’s Capi-tal Campaign has been chosen. The committee met on Tues-day, September 2 to discuss the four (4) firms that were in-terviewed and then presented our recommendation to the Vestry immediately following. The consultant for the St. Paul’s Capital Campaign will be Bob Strange with Rauchenstein Consulting Group (RCG). Bob lives in Indianapolis, Indiana and will be our on-site consult-ant for approximately three months. He will live and wor-ship among us and help us to bring our needs, hopes, and vision together. Rauchenstein Consulting Group (RCG) was founded by Peter M. Rauchenstein in January, 1999, to provide fundraising counsel exclusively for churches and church-related organizations. The firm brought together a team of tal-ented and highly professional consultants each active in his/her own church and dedicated to furthering the broader mis-sion of the Church. Capital Campaign Consultants are professionals that are avail-able to assist churches or other

ministries with raising money. These professionals offer cam-paign advice and help build funds within a congregation for specific goals, and ministry. Using a professional for capital campaign advice, while seem-ingly costly upfront, may gener-ate capital beyond a congrega-tion's own ability to do so. The committee feels that RCG is the right fit for St. Paul’s and will help us get back on our feet financially and will help us to continue a tradition of giving and mission to the people of this community and beyond. You will be contacted within the next month or so to attend a dinner where you and others will be given the opportunity to express your hopes and vision for the church. This will be a wonderful chance for the con-gregation to get together in small informal gatherings and learn more about the campaign process and build our ideas together. This is an exciting time in our congregation and we look for-ward to meeting with all of you. The campaign process will be-gin on Monday, September 15, 2008. Bob will move into an office in the church and will be available if you have any ques-tions. The total time for the

campaign should be about twelve (12) weeks. The first three (3) weeks will be cam-paign planning, consulting with the major projects committee and the feasibility study. Nine (9) weeks will be the advanced gift phase and will include the training of volunteers, prepara-tion and publications of materi-als and much more. The capi-tal campaign will run concur-rently with our annual steward-ship campaign. Bob will help keep us informed and up to date on the process and pro-gress. If you have any questions, please call us. Ellen Redding 827-8278 Mark Vickers 826-1730

St. Paul’s Church Vestry July 22, 2008, 6:00 p.m.

In attendance: The Reverend Dr. Beth Macke, Vestry members Retia Denton, Susan Sauls, Lou Ann Clark, Hugh Hennessy, Ben Cubbage, George Caddick, Becky Stone, Charles Johnson, Todd Green, Louis Smith. Apologies: Larry Posey, Susie Watkins. Opening Prayer The Reverend Dr. Beth Macke opened the meeting with prayer. Reports: Minutes of previous vestry meeting Minutes of the meeting of the vestry on June 24, 2008 were reviewed. George Caddick moved to approve the minutes. Second by Susan Sauls. Motion carried. Treasurer’s Report-Hugh Hennessy Financial statement was reviewed. Hugh noted that during the month of June we were more than $5,000 over budget, and that is not good, particularly since we budgeted for an annual loss of $60,000. George Caddick moved to receive the treasurer’s report. Second by Charles Johnson. Motion carried. Vestry members requested that the financial reports be made more readable, and Hugh agreed to speak to Donna Mulcahy about what can be done. Capital Campaign Report Ellen Redding has begun setting up dates for capital campaign consultants to give us proposals. Vestry members received an e-mail listing the dates. Vestry members are needed to attend each presentation to the capital campaign committee. Senior Warden’s Report-Todd Green We received a bid from Schnell, which was e-mailed to vestry members. Todd noted it was not as bad as we thought but not as good as we had hoped. Schnell still must consult with structural engineers, which will change their proposal to us. A design engineer says our existing HVAC system is not to code with regard to fresh air venting. One roofing bid is in, for about $61,000. Todd called and confirmed that the bid was accurate. We need to put jobs out for open bidding, but in order to do that, specifications need to be set up, so that everyone is bidding on the same job. The major projects committee needs to have input on this. A bid for repairing the stained glass windows was received from Sunburst, along with a prioritized list of their recommendations. It’s approximately $62,000. Sunburst says it can redo the storm protection on the windows for $6,500, but doesn’t recommend the storm protection. The bid received earlier from Willet-Hauser was lower. Some documentation was found regarding installation of the existing roof in 2000. David Coudret of Preferred Construction Ser-vices said that the roof job was subcontracted to two different firms and that no contact was made by the church informing them that the roof was installed incorrectly. A report was made by Donan Engineering for the Church Insurance Company on Septem-ber 2, 2005, stating that the shingles were installed with “high nailing” and were not installed according to the manufacturer’s in-structions. The report further stated that damage to the roof was not due to manufacturing defect or storm damage. Todd will meet with Coudret this week. The project manager on the job was George Link’s architectural firm. Vestry members asked if the Mann house needs some kind of temporary repairs to avoid further water damage due to the deterio-ration of the roof.

Vestry Minutes Page 2 Junior Warden’s Report-Charles Johnson Some repairs were made to Bebe Curry’s house; the air conditioning was replaced inexpensively with a used unit from Woodard. Charles told Bebe that the church would not be able to do further repairs on the house. The a/c was repaired to honor a com-mitment made by a previous rector, and the repairs were paid for from the discretionary fund. The church’s air conditioning unit needs an expansion valve repair at a cost of $799. The chiller pipes are also leaking. The church has been cited by the city for trees and brush obstructing the trash lane behind Bebe’s house. A parishioner has of-fered to correct the problem. The Junior Warden and George Caddick toured the church with the structural engineer. The engineer recommended that trees planted too close to the foundation be removed. The engineer removed sections of stucco from the exterior of the church to inspect the underlying brick and found that mortar is missing in some areas. We expect a prioritized list from the engineering firm in about two weeks. Rector’s Report – Dr. Beth Macke Leigh Ann Wehr has resigned as Sunday school superintendent, effective July 25th. Monessa is still scheduled to go to the Cate-chesis of the Good Shepherd. Volunteers will be teaching Sunday school for children aged 7-11, with Monessa continuing to teach the younger children. There will be an evening format for youth aged 12 and up. The two-adult requirement for children and youth activities discussed previously will be implemented this fall. This is a national church requirement. Brad Schneider of the Leadership Henderson Initiative says they are at least six months away from needing space for a proposed dental clinic. They expect to need only half of the dental building. Dr. Morris has signed a month-to-month lease drawn up by Ben Cubbage. The rector encouraged vestry members to attend the presentations of the capital campaign consultants, as we will be paying for their services. The rector thanks those people who have helped clean up the church grounds on Saturdays. She says the grounds look better than they have in a long time. The rector has appointed Martha Polk to chair the historical preservation committee. Charles Crabtree and many others have agreed to help. The rector will meet with the committee in the coming week to talk about a historical exhibit in conjunction with All Saints Sunday and a celebration of the sesquicentennial of the consecration of the church on May 31, 1860. Hattie Preston is not doing well but is resting comfortably. The rector is coming up on her one-year anniversary at St. Paul’s. She says it has been a truly amazing year and that she prays the best is yet to come. Old Business Air Conditioning Repair As discussed earlier in the meeting, the air conditioning needs an expansion valve. Charles Johnson moved to have it repaired. Second by Todd Green. Motion carried. We are saving $1,000 each month on utilities over the previous year. Washington Street Properties Offer The properties liquidation committee recommends that we counter an offer from Robert Cornbleet. The counter offer would be that he pay all expenses associated with the sale and maintain right of access to the Center Street properties. Susan Sauls moved to accept the offer with those changes. Second by George Caddick. Motion carried.

Vestry Minutes Page 3 Preston Foundation Proposal Questions remain about the proposal of the Preston Family Foundation’s offer, and details must still be worked out. They have approved covering the expenses of the properties for one year. Working out the details must wait in light of Hattie Preston’s grave illness. Ben Cubbage suggested that we accept their offer and continue to work on the details. Ben Cubbage moved to approve the offer in principle, subject to clarification. Terms would be clarified and the vestry notified of the details. Second by Susan Sauls. Motion carried with two opposed. New Business Structural Analysis Fee The vestry earlier approved (via e-mail) conducting a structural analysis of the church building from Schnell. Becky Stone moved that the fee for the analysis be paid from the St. Paul’s trust. Second by George Caddick. Motion carried. HVAC Design Proposal The Professional Consultants division of ICI has made a proposal to design a heating and air system, so that specifications can be drawn up for bids. Their estimate is $4,000-$4,500 for the design. It is the sentiment of the vestry to get multiple bids. Youth Account The youth account is down to $500. The youth account is fed from designated funds, but vestry action is required to draw from the designated funds. The Youth Director’s salary is paid from this account. Charles Johnson moved to close the youth checking account, putting the balance into the operating account, with future youth expenses to be paid from the operating account. Regular check signers would sign the checks for the youth director’s salary and expenses. Funds would be transferred from the designated account as needed. This would bring us into compliance with church business standards. Second by Todd Green. Motion carried. Audit Committee George Grace has agreed to chair an audit committee. The vestry had earlier this year approved a professional audit, but we do not have the funds to pay for it, and it is not required this year. The rector said the committee needs members, and there are many restrictions on who can serve, but she believes volunteers can be found to serve. Susan Sauls moved that we cancel plans for a professional audit and appoint a committee to do the audit. Second by Charles Johnson. Motion carried. Adjournment Closing Prayer The meeting adjourned with prayer. In-Christ Lou Ann Clark, Clerk

EYC NEWS 2008 EYC CALENDARS ARE COMING!!! Plan accordingly, please : ) Ellen Green and Tori McKnight attend North Middle School. North’s Junior Optimist Club, is hosting its annual coat and eyeglass drive from Oct. 1-Nov.1. Please help support Ellen and Tori by bringing to the parish hall your used coats and jackets, in good condition, to be recycled for the less fortunate in our community, and eyeglasses to be recycled for dis-tribution among the poor in the developing nations of the Western Hemisphere. Fall gathering, for 6th-12th graders, is the first weekend of fall break, Oct. 5-7 at All Saints’ Camp. The Youth Council has come up with the theme for the weekend: Listening for God in Our Dreams. Kyran Pittman will facilitate large and small group workshops on deciphering dreams, dealing with bad dreams, and listening for God in our dreams. In addi-tion to the workshops there will be a chance for the youth to make dreamcatchers, walk the labyrinth, take a prayer hike, and use yoga as a way of listening for God. Then there will be the traditional gathering activities like a dance, bonfire, movie, and the election of new members of the youth council, youth representatives to Diocesan Convention, and to the Provincial Youth Meetings. Registration forms are available online at www.episcopalky.org, in the church office, or see me. It would be nice for parents to be able to coordinate transportation, so please let us know if your child plans to attend. Adult volunteers are needed and welcome for any or all of this weekend activity. There was a “natural” divide in EYC in September which arose according to who attended church on Sunday morn-ing. Middle school EYC met after church and high school EYC met on Wednesday nights. On Sept. 9, middle school EYC went to the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science and attended both astronomy programs in the planetarium: More than Meets the Eye, a program which examines views of object in the night sky as they appear through telescopes, binocu-lars and the naked eye, about star color, the appearance of the moon and visible planets, constellations, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies and The Sky Tonight, a live presentation detailing what’s visible in the evening sky this fall. In between the pro-grams, we took full advantage of the interactive exhibits and also noted the tribute from George and Rita Caddick in the ex-hibit Tri-State on the Home Front: World War II. Naturally, we had lunch before and ice cream after, at McDonald’s and Cold Stone Creamery. On Sept. 16, we went to Jillian’s for lunch, bowling, and video games, and appreciate that Kurt Wilson joined us, and contributed to the cause, even though he and Katherine slaughtered Tori, Madeline and me in bowling. On Sept. 12, a large group of high school students met at Applebee’s. Service was slow so we had a nice long visit and time to catch up and cajole. We were glad Emily Hurt’s Gigi and sister Hannah Slocum were able to join us. On Sept. 19, high school EYC met at Los Toribios South and joined Kim Watkins’ grandmother, Linda Chinn and their friend Jan Kellen. When we picked that night we didn’t realize school was out that afternoon and several of our group was detoured by other opportunities. We’ll try again for a full component next week! Hopefully both groups will unite for the fifth Sunday of September, the 29th, at 7 a.m. to cook breakfast for the par-ish. Because it is my experience that early morning effort leads to late morning naps for the youth, we won’t have EYC after church that day! Thanks to John and Becky Carroll and Barbara Butler for volunteering to be on our cooking team. All EYC and EYC parents are invited and encouraged to join us for Kitchen Patrol, from setting the tables, scrambling the eggs, frying the meat, to cleaning up. It’s a good way to stay in practice for the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper! On Sat. Oct. 20, from 6-9 p.m. in Audubon Mill Park, there will be an evening of Christian fellowship with all the youth groups of Henderson. The youth ministers who have gotten this together meet monthly for lunch, and I participate when my schedule permits. It is good to hear what is going on with the other churches in our community. On Oct. 21, the Presbyterian youth will meet with us to reciprocate from our joint meeting with them at their church in August. The West Kentucky Presbytery has rented Camp Loucon from the Methodists for their version of a fall gathering and the Presbyterian Church of Henderson has invited our youth to join with theirs for the weekend of Nov. 9-11. Registra-tion deadline is Oct. 27. The cost is $45. Adult chaperones will be needed if our youth respond to this invitation. Camp Lou-con is located near Leitchfield, too. Respectfully submitted, Leslie Newman, youth director
