B. New Home for the ACC?: The Secretary reported that at last Monday’s Offutt Catholic Parish Council meeting, Deacon Tom Frankfield will resign, effective 1 Jan 07, in order to force the issue of obtained a
civilian position for a priest. If this gamble does not work, the Offutt Catholic Parish could go away along with a major source for funding and volunteers. When the Finance Director returns in Jan 07, the Board may want to consider alternatives for the Crew being associated with another church.
