From the Secretary's Office

Notes from Cindy (our Secretary / Office Manager)

From the May 2010 Parish Paper

A very Happy Mothers’ Day to all the Moms amongst us!

THANK YOU! I can not believe I have been here now for 9 months – ¾ of a year! The time is flying by and I so appreciate everyone’s kindness and friendship. I am still learning and once the full 12 months have gone by, hopefully I will have a better understanding of how a year goes here at First Presbyterian. I continue to be amazed by the activities and involvement of so many here! And --I thank you all for your patience in forgiving my occasional typographical errors or faux pas!

NEW office hours as of April 29, 2010: MONDAY-FRIDAY: 11:00-12:00 and 1:00-4:00pm (closed for lunch 12-1pm). Because of a schedule/position change at my other job, we have changed the office hours here at First Presbyterian to be 11 AM – 4 PM, with 12-1 off for lunch. Thank you all for your kindness with this transition.

OFFICE CLOSED MAY 19. The office will be closed on Wednesday, May 19, as I have to be away at a conference that date.

KEEPING THE CALENDAR. Also, we would greatly appreciate it, when you have events to be placed into the calendar, if you would write, call, leave a note, or email to me with the event, rather than just writing it into the book, to prevent drastic surprises!!

PUBLICATIONS DEADLINE. The Parish Paper and the weekly Bulletin Insert (Parish Life) are always in need of new articles or announcements. For the Parish Paper, the deadline for submission is the third Friday of the month (in general) and for the Bulletin Insert (Parish Life) please have your information to me no later than 1:00 PM on Thursday of that week, since these get printed off for folding on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning, to be sure to have time to get them ready for Sunday.

NEW RECORD KEEPING SYSTEM. We have changed over to a new format of record keeping and statements, regarding contributions. I recently mailed out those statements, and if you have any questions or concerns whatsoever, please feel free to contact me at 265-9434 any time during office hours.

Sincerely, Cindy Bowen

Parish Paper also now delivered via email. We are now emaiingl the paper to those who have so requested. We would appreciate your feedback!  

Our Church Directory is now updated!  If you don't have one or need a second one, stop by the office and pick one up. Put a note into the Sunday collection plate, or stop in or call, with any changes or revisions that we might need for the next update.

Tammy Liscum, our former secreteary, has been in touch and she is doing well. She says hello to all.

As your new Secretary / Office Manager, I am feeling so very welcome and at home here, as I acclimate to the new hours and duties. I am honored and grateful to have been chosen for the position. Thank you all for your patience and cooperation during this transitional time. I look forward to meeting each of you personally!  Please feel free to stop in and chat if you are nearby!!

Sincerely, Cindy Bowen
