Please be patient with the length of the meeting this month as we strive to be as focused and efficient as possible.

History was reviewed as to why this change occurred due to the smallness of the ad and how cluttered it appeared previously. Discussion addressed options to continue with current ad without Hawkins and split cost between five parishes if all are agreeable, remove OLS PCCW from process and purchase our own ad at the full cost, or provide a detailed explanation of previous decision and include encouragement for all parish organizations to look at the fact that what we are paying for is provision of a weekly bulletin, not for a self- promotion ad.

Seconded by Caroline Sieg. Approved unanimously. B. July, 2024 Financial Report: Shirley Sorenson noted that the Cluster Office was unable to provide their financial report that is used to create the PCCW financial report.

OLD BUSINESS Caroline Sieg moved to table all Old Business until the September 2024 meeting. Seconded by Marlene Tuma and approved unanimously. V. NEW BUSINESS Kathy Moreau moved to table any New Business items until the September 2024 meeting, with the following exceptions that were listed on the agenda. Seconded by Kim Reisner and approved unanimously. A. Report from newly formed Finance Committee (Kim Reisner). The OLS PCCW was informed today by Bob Lecheler, Cluster Administrative Assistant, that we may open our own checking account if we so choose, instead of continuing past practice of all income and expenses going through the cluster bookkeeping system. The Finance Committee is choosing to proceed and will open an account with Security Financial Bank in Ladysmith. This will be a duplicate check account that will require two signatures – the Treasurer and one Financial Committee member. A standardized form will be implemented for all donations of money and goods and all reimbursements will be requested via use of a form with receipts attached. Any expense that is more than $50.00 will require the approval of the membership at a meeting, whether general or emergency, circumstances considered. The Treasurer will obtain the bank’s rules and expectations and proceed with the Committee this week if possible. Kim read the Mission of the National Council of Catholic Women. No discussion except overall membership agreement in above planning and decisions. B. Nomination and Appointment of Ann Thompson as OLS PCCW Treasurer. Section A’s discussion was interrupted by need to address nomination of treasurer. Ann Thompson had volunteered to serve in this capacity. Other volunteers were requested. No one did so, and Marlene Tuma moved to nominate and approve Ann Thompson as Treasurer for the local Council. Seconded by Kathy Moreau with unanimous approval. Ann will start her service immediately. C. Mass in the Park: Shirley Sorenson reminded that the date for this event is Sunday, August 25, and that she had changed the time of the Mass with Fr. Papi to 11:00 AM. Nancy Anderson reminded that although Fr. Papi had discussed holding this as a single Mass for the weekend, he had not followed this format for other cluster parishes’ special Masses and thus shouldn’t do so for OLS. Therefore, this will be a parish Mass with all visitors invited but other Masses also being held that weekend. Shirley and Doug Sorenson will arrange all items needed for the Mass. Shirley will talk with Cheryl Weimer about flowers for the Mass. A committee is needed to plan food. Several members volunteered, with a separate meeting needed to secure plans. Reminder by Cindy Jansen to have two shifts of food servers this year. VI. Closing Prayer: led by Shirley Sorenson with special prayer for the late Sr. Cecilia Fandel, member, who passed away earlier this week. VII. Adjournment: Shirley Sorenson led Grace and adjourned to PCCW Picnic. Next Meeting Scheduled: Monday, September 9, 2024, at 6:00 PM at the OLS Church Conference Room.

What a wonderful success for our “first” OLS Mass in the Park, held last Sunday, August 27th! Thanks to everyone who attended and stayed to socialize at our potluck picnic. The food brought by the PCCW ladies was fantastic! This was a joint effort of the OLS Parish Council of Catholic Women and the local Knights of Columbus, and it went off without a hitch! Help setting up and taking down was fast, efficient, and much appreciated!
Parishioners who brought a dish to pass were invited to sign up for a drawing for a beautiful fall tote bag, which was handcrafted by Diane Scott, a cluster member from Weyerhaeuser, and was donated anonymously as a way to say “thanks for all your hard work.” Tammy Moore of Ladysmith was the lucky winner.
The planning committee (Shirley Sorenson, Nancy Anderson, Marlene Tuma, Cindy Jansen, Jean Sanderson, Joe Baye, and Bob Lecheler) invite your comments and criticisms.
