    THE FIRST 150 YEARS

    BENEFACTION BOARD
    HIGHLIGHTS August 13, 2015
    The St. Johns Benefaction Board
    approved three requests at their quarterly
    meeting on August 13th.
    The Zone Afterschool Program was
    granted $4,000 for their continuing
    operation in the new school year. The Zone
    targets and serves 7th-12th graders with a
    safe environment that strengthens social
    skills and character.
    The board also gave $3,500 to Mercy
    Meals which will cover the cost of material
    St. Johns volunteers will pack in October
    plus some additional to help defray the cost
    of needing to rent the DeVent Center for
    packing. The college gym was not available
    this year.
    Finally, the Benefaction Board approved
    $8,500 for Aline Skogstoes Young Adult in
    Global Mission to Winchester, England.
    $5,500 matches money the congregation
    raised from the general fund benevolence
    commitment, accumulated Green Fiber
    funds, and member contributions. The
    remaining three thousand dollars matches
    money that Aline raised for her personal
    expenses during her year of service.
    The next meeting of the Benefaction
    Board is November 12, 2015. Requests for
    funds should be submitted three weeks
    before the meeting and must be signed by
    the principal contact and a sponsoring St.
    Johns member.
