+ The Council agreed to assist in a parish farewell to Father Bill Long, who has been transferred to a parish at N.C. State University effective July 8. The tentative date of June 29 was set for the farewell, which will be a pot luck picnic following the Latino Liturgy. The Council also agreed to lead a welcoming event for our new pastor, Fr. Bill Upah, who will be coming to Henderson from Clinton, NC. The tentative date for that celebration is July 20.
+ Brother Dick Schaenzer reported that the Council will host a 4th Degree Dinner on Saturday, June 14, at 7 p.m. The evening will begin with the 5 p.m. mass, followed by a coctail hour and dinner.

+ The Council agreed to fund and install a concrete slab between the rectory and the rectory garage to channel water away from the buildings and keep the rectory basement from flooding. Brothers Dick Schaenzer and Ray Hasenfus will head the project.
+ Outside Guard Nick Zanon reported gross proceeds State Raffle totaled $975, an increase over the previous year's total. Brother Zanon said that in the future he plans to withhold tickets from those Brothers who historically have not participated.
