Outgoing vestry members Don Seifert and Kurt Gordon were honored, and new members Ruth Henderson and Myke Chovanec were welcomed. Fr. Steve announced that Karon Wintrode will serve as the People's Warden and Jill Reed would serve as the Rector's Warden for the next year. They join Martha Miller, Anne Brunner, Joe Fossati and John Zemites as our leadership team. Diocesan delegates to convention/convocation are Carolyn Sturgeon and Jane Bush, with Martha Miller volunteering as the alternate. Thanks to those who provided delicious treats. We are blessed to have Fr. Steve with us and a dedicated leadership team. In addition, Janet and Don Seifert were honored as St. Aidan's Angels by Fr. Steve for their efforts the past year. We thank them for all they do.
