PRC Vodcast 2

PRC Vodcast 2

Prior to COVID-19, the Property Redevelopment Committee (PRC) had arranged a series of group sessions for Church members to share their thoughts on property redevelopment. After holding two successful sessions, the balance needed to be cancelled. For those who had signed-up online, we provided the opportunity for them to complete an online survey.

The feedback from the group sessions and the online survey has been very helpful in identifying topics that congregants would like more information on regarding redevelopment. These topics are being addressed through this series of Vodcasts.

In Episode 2, Clyde Evans (Treasurer), David Dexter (Chair, Finance) and Jim Stanley (Chair, Trustees) join Dianne Kokesh in a conversation about how property redevelopment could be a significant part of the solution to our growing financial gap. The Vodcast lasts approximately twenty-five minutes. At the bottom of this blog, you can also find a list of specific questions addressed and the time marker you can go to in the video to hear that part of the conversation.
