The Annual Meeting
Today was St.Paul's Annual Meeting, this meeting allows attending members of the Parish to vote in new members of the Vestry(the governing body of the church), review the budget, hear reports and bring up other business of the church. This year's meeting went well, everyone was in a good mood, issues like the finish date of the carriage house, budget and the delegates to go the Diocese Convention. There were a few members who has some reservations about the budget and how money was being invested. These are still some fisically hard times, for everyone and it's hard to balance a budget, not only for youself, but for a church, with many voices decisions can be even harder to make.

More news in Haiti
Dear Friends in Christ:
We have devastating news to share with you from Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake yesterday. According to reports I have received here in Les Cayes, the damage in Port au Prince and areas around it is terrible.
There is no Cathedral. The entire Holy Trinity complex is gone. The convent for the Sisters of St. Margaret is gone. The Bishop's house is gone. College St. Pierre is gone. The apartment for College St. Pierre is still standing. Bishop no longer has a house in which to live.
In Trouin, four people were killed during a service.
In Grand Colline, the church is gone. In St Martin of Tours, the kindergarten is gone.
In St. Etienne Buteau the church, the rectory and the school are gone.
In Les Cayes, BTI is OK, but some people were injured trying to get out of the buildings during the quake. The rectory in Les Cayes is in very bad condition.
