IMPORTANT
FINANCIAL
CONFERENCE


How can we best answer the plea from our Churches to (1) limit the number of financial appeals from the NA? (2) Time whatever appeals we make to the calendars of our member Churches? (3) More adequately share the numerous services the National Association offers? These and other related questions were the topics of a conference recently funded through our Executive Committee’s “wish list.” Representatives from Divisions and Financial Services of the NA met for 24 hours Feb. 2-3. “This meeting’s goal was to develop an alternative to fundraising that would address some of the concerns of our churches and help to ensure the stability and future of the programs we all use and need which help us in our service to God. We hope to have some recommendations for the meeting in Kansas City.”

Rev. Alice Murphy, chairperson of the Executive Committee

 

  GENERAL FUND NEEDS SUPPORT

We are approaching the last quarter of the Association’s fiscal year, and, as always, (it seems), the General Operating Fund needs support from our member Churches and individuals. If you are a leader in the NA and/or in your Church, please ask your Trustees and Leaders if they have made sure to send a Fair Share ($10 per active church member) to the NACCC.

THE PROVIDENCE FUND

This past summer we received some of the most touching notes from recipients of the Scholarship Fund which helped them attend the Annual Meeting on behalf of their Church. The newly-created Providence Fund will help continue this outreach to our smaller Churches who simply cannot afford to send delegates to Kansas City in June. If you would like to contribute please send your check to the NACCC, and designate it for THE PROVIDENCE FUND.
