Recap Of February 5, 2023 Annual Meeting


The 171st Annual Meeting last month was a great opportunity to see and to meet many individual members of the Redeemer community, and to also witness the collective spirit and interest of those in attendance. 


Formal remarks were provided by Chris Chojnacki, Chair of the Stewardship Committee, Chris Zafiriou, Accounting Warden, Tracey Steele, Rector’s Warden and the Rev. Peter Vanderveen. 


It was a business meeting, so it was a conventional process with reports on fiscal health and general overviews of the year. In addition, four impressive nominees (Lisa Raymond, Win Shaeffer, John Black and Joe Spadaro) were duly elected through in-person voting with 60 ballots cast. Heartfelt thanks were given to Elisabeth Cooke, Melanie LeBouef, Al Greenough and Harry Miller for their time and contributions in serving on the Vestry for the past three years.

 

While in their various leadership roles, Chris, Chris, Tracey and Peter were responsible for reporting on different aspects of ‘the state of the Parish’ (all positive reports), there were common themes in their remarks. The overarching sentiment was gratitude for the strength and generosity of the Redeemer community as well as opportunity and growth via engagement. 


Summarizing the call to action by leadership, over the next few months, Parishioners are urged to:

Talk with Vestry members and to share their thoughts and ideas on how to engage more of our current Redeemer members in the happenings and work of the Parish. 



Share the good things happening on the Parish campus with friends, family, and neighbors who are not a part of the Redeemer community (yet). 

Attend ‘something different’ at the Redeemer which one might otherwise not have thought to attend; and bring a friend along.

Rector Peter Vanderveen summarized 2020, noting “My first word to you is ‘thank you.’ None of us expected this kind of year and you have responded beautifully, strongly and well. Our doors are open every day and it’s been astounding how many people, many of whom we do not know, came and utilized this space. We could not have done this without your support. Carrying on ministry in a pandemic is extraordinarily difficult, seeing you is the heart of what we are about.”
