Music and Arts Minutes

October 1, 2017

David Johnston, Jack Neumeyer,Jacqui Savage (and baby Gunner), Al Sicard, and Carol SpencerLemay were present. Judi Klingensmith was absent.

ITEM	DISCUSSION	PLAN
August Minutes	The minutes from August were accurate, but the actual amount for Jacqui’s organ lessons was $420.00 and not $400.00.	Carol will submit the minutes to be posted online with an addendum.
There is no shelf behind the organ for music.		David plans to buy and set up the shelf.
Proposed 2018 Budget.	Proposed changes from the 2017 budget are: 1. An increase in musical supplies from $1,075.00 to $2000.00 to pay for new music for the new youth choir and new choir robes. 2. Drop the designation “Other” and ask for $300.00 (gifts and food) for Music Appreciation Sunday. 3. An increase in organ and piano maintenance from $700.00 to $800.00. 4. An increase of $25.00 for Music Licenses. 5. A $200.00 decrease in Summer Subs and Guests to $1000.00.	Those present agreed upon this budget. David will find out from the treasurer the best way of including the need for new choir robes: Should it be a separate line item (as bell maintenance is), or should it be a part of  musical supplies? Should it carry over from one year to the next?
New music for 2017	In the future, we would like this expense to be part of the Music and Arts Annual Budget, and not come from the Friends of Music Account, as new music is a recurring expense. The money budgeted for music supplies in 2017 has already been depleted.	The team approved $1000.00 from the Friends of Music Account to be spent on new music.
Next Meeting	We will meet if needed.	November 5, 2017 at about 11:30 am.
