Annual Reports It's coming up on that time again -- annual reports are due to be presented at the congregational meeting in January. Chairs of each committee and those in leadership positions should begin compiling your notes and data so you can have your full written report to Bruce by Dec. 30. Format isn't important because the content will be dropped into a template. Please email your report to secretary.northside@gmail.com |
