This year’s meeting will be held on Sunday January 30, 2022 from 11:30 am – 12:30pm. There are multiple venues for participation:
- Edwards Hall
- Courtyard
- Online over Zoom (Join the Meeting)
For those attending in person, lunch will be provided from 11:00am – 11:30am in the Courtyard following the 10am service. Childcare will be provided during the meeting from 11:30am – 12:30pm.
An Annual Parish Meeting is required in our Diocese, with rules specified in Canon 19.3 (page 31). The Canons were amended at the November 2021 Diocesan Convention to explicitly permit the Annual Parish Meeting to be “conducted in real-time, either or both in person or via electronic video screen communication using measures to provide members a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the members, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting concurrently with those proceedings or such other means as may be allowed by the California Corporations Code for meetings of members of non-profit corporations.”

Voting
There are three motions to vote or ratify: Accepting the minutes from last year, election of Vestry members, and election of Delegates to the Diocesan Convention.
- Accepting the minutes from last year – will be a simple “hand raise” in all three locations (Edwards Hall, Courtyard, and Online over Zoom). We will record “for” “against” and “abstain”, and ask participants online to ensure that we can see which household member is voting if multiple members are online.
- Election of the Vestry – we would like to vote on the nominees as a slate (Ed Stedman, Will Walkins, Annett Trail – biographies below), using a simple “hand raise” in all three locations. Again, we will record “for” “against” and “abstain”, and ask participants online to ensure that we can see which household member is voting if multiple members are online.
- If there are nominations from the floor on the day of the AGM, or if anyone expresses a preference for a secret ballot (usually so that they can vote for some candidate(s) and not others), we will move to a secret ballot. Onsite participants will receive paper ballots. Zoom households are asked to PRIVATE MESSAGE Bob Ulrey. Each household member may provide the names of up to 3 people for Vestry.
- Election of the Delegates to the Diocesean Convention – we would like to vote on the nominees as a slate (listed below), using a simple “hand raise” in all three locations. Again, we will record “for” “against” and “abstain”, and ask participants online to ensure that we can see which household member is voting if multiple members are online.
- If there are nominations from the floor on the day of the AGM, or if anyone expresses a preference for a secret ballot, we will move to a secret ballot. Onsite participants will receive paper ballots. Zoom households are asked to PRIVATE MESSAGE Bob Ulrey. Each household member may provide the names of up to 5+1 people (Delegates + Alternate).
Finally the budget and various reports will be presented, but do not need to be voted on.
We look forward to seeing you there!
