Yeah, well, I volunteered to do it, thinking that all I had to do was to take notes, transcribe them, and email the finished product to the office.
Hah!
Now they tell me that I'm supposed to be keeping a log of all of the paperwork (notes, transcribed minutes, relevant papers) and other vestry members call me to refresh their memories re: various points discussed at the meeting! (Weren't they there?! Didn't they pay attention?!)
It's enough to make me pull my hair out (a pretty serious undertaking as it is hip-length hair)!
Ugh. It is much simpler for us. The clerk takes the minutes (summarizing points made), writes them up and after approval at the next meeting files a copy in a binder for the future. I added the Treasurer's Report to the binder copy, but it was generally pretty easy. I think once the minutes ran to three pages, but usually it was just one or a bit more pages (at 11 point type). I think maybe once in 4 or so years did I ever get a call about something in the meeting.
How large is your Vestry? We have 9 members.
