The e-mail alerts for prayers, as well as the e-mail versions of Communio and the Newsletter have all received several positive responses. Thank you for participating in this communication tool. A few things that may interest you: 

· There are presently 262 members receiving the Malachi Alerts. 
· There are presently 196 members receiving the Communio. 
· There are presently 209 members receiving the Newsletter. 

These are all group mailings; each is a separate group updated as soon as a name is added, deleted, or change of address. The reason for three groups is simply that not every person who wishes a Newsletter wishes to receive the Communio, and Communio recipients do not necessarily wish to receive Malachi Alerts, etc. No one likes to hear “I need a volunteer.” But it’s true. If you would care to assist with this program, if you would like to even assist with one list, it would be a major help. There will be times when I’ll be out of town, the computer may be in for repair, or the system may be down. Any number of reasons could occur that may prevent something important going out. We would hope it would not be the message you need to send to the Community and/or the Parish. I would be happy to assist in setting this up in your computer in order to show any reformatting, etc. that may be necessary. If you enjoy e-mail and computers and are a willing volunteer, please contact me at 216-676-4658. DS

CSM COUNCIL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS

(Sincere thanks to Cynthia Bender and Gene Kramer for getting the information to us!!!)

The 2003-04 CSM Council met in a special session on June 23, 2004 at St. Malachi Center. The purpose of the meeting was to consider the changes to the 2003-04 budget and the proposed 2004-05 budget recommended by the Finance Council. Following extensive discussion, the Council by unanimous vote made the following changes to the recommendations for the 2003-04 budget and adopted the revised budget with those changes:

1. From the surplus of revenues over expenses at the end of the fiscal year, an additional $4,000 will be added to the amount paid to St.Malachi Parish for general support.

2. $1,000 will be paid to each of the following Related Ministries: Malachi House, Urban Community School, FutureChurch and the West Side Catholic Center.

3. The amount to be paid to the Diocesan of Cleveland for the current assessment will be based on the reduced percentage previously established for the 2003-04 fiscal year.
