October Team Meeting Notes

Thank you to all who attended Tuesday evenings TCI Team Meeting.  We were able to work through
many ministry items in a short time.  Primarily we had three items to address, Mission Trip, Mission Trip Fundraiser and
TCI Microfinance.

Microfinance:  Miles & Joel are working together to put together a reporting mechanism that will
work for Pastor Julio and give our board enough information to realize the status of each loan, to give
us a snapshot overview of how things are working. 

Mission Trip Fundraiser:  The fundraiser is set for February 9th and we had several members step up to volunteer to help with the fundraiser. Nancy Lindemann will coordinate the Silent Auction again. Bill Sereduck will lead the kitchen and dinner crew with the help of the Men's Ministry. The entertainment area will be led by Chris Kiley.  There are several positions we need to fill: Ticket Sales Lead Person, Promotions/Communications, and Parking Lot coordination.  If you are interested in helping with any of these areas please let me know.  I prefer to work in teams so the work doesn't fall to only one person. So if you are interested, I will seek to get another person to work alongside you in any area.

Mission Trip: The mission trip is set for April 13-20
Teams we are considering are: Medical, Dental, ESL, Electrical-Alarm Installation, Sports Camp,
Music-Gospel Outreach

We are looking for leadership and for team members.  Application packets are on the welcome table
for those who may be interested.  You can pick one up or we can email one to you. If you have questions please email me or call me anytime.

Meeting closed at 7:45PM

Next Meeting will be held November 13th in the church library. Please plan to attend, your ideas are valued your prayers are coveted.

Students shortly will be accepted into the training program preparing them for work in hotels and local restaurants. This is another way Trinity Cares and Pastor Julio is trying to reduce the 60% unemployment and put families back to work by teaching marketable skills

July 2012 Mtg Highlights

TCI Committee met on July 10th and reviewed and celebrated the recent Mission Trip and all God accomplished through the TCI team.  Each team member shared stories of their experiences and highlights through the week.  As we evaluated planning towards 2013 we decided because of the intense heat this past trip to move the 2013 trip back to Feb or April. With the latter the preference at this point.
New TCI elder representative Buck Coe was welcomed as was Chris Kiley the new TCI director. Ed Metcalf outgoing director was thanked for his service for the past two years. The October fundraiser was canceled and we are looking at dates in the first few months of 2013 to properly plan.  The August TCI meeting was canceled and we will resume our next regular meeting the second tuesday of September.
