<br />Conference, that there was one change from prior announcements, namely,
<br />that because we were unable to use the Church Parlor, we were holding
<br />this meeting in the adjoining room, being the Gollaher Chapel, -~nd there
<br />were no objections made to this change.
<br />Dr. Winter stated that, pursuant to The Book of Discipline of
<br />The United Methodist Church, with respect to the sale of Church real es-
<br />tate, and in accordance with the Revised Statutes of the State of
<br />Nebraska, proper notice of this meeting, including its time, place and
<br />purpose, was given for not less than ten days nor more than fifty days
<br />prior to the date of this meeting, by due printed notice mailed to all
<br />members of the Church Conference, at his direction as Senior Pastor, in
<br />"Trinity Tidings" on July 17, 1979, and July 31, 1979; and further notice
<br />by announcement from the pulpit by a 1Kinister of said Church at each of
<br />the regular Church services on the following Sundays, Jaly 29, 1979,
<br />August 5, 1979, and August 12, 1979, and on the following Mondays,
<br />July 30, 1979, August 6, 1979, and August 13, 1979, and by publishing
<br />the notice in the Church bulletins on each of said dates, and by post-
<br />ing the notice on the bulletin boards of said Church an each of said
<br />dates.
<br />further, Dr. GVinter stated that the gurpose of this meeting,
<br />as set forth in the notices, was to vote on the sale of Lot Two (2), i.ri
<br />Trinity United Methodist Eastside Subdivision, in the City of Grand
<br />Island, Nebraska, which is a vacant lot adjacent to the east of the
<br />present Eastside Chapel now located on Lot One (1) in said Subdivision,
<br />for-tile reason that said vacant lot is rarely being used by the ca2urch
<br />and the Board of Directors, also known as the Board of Trustees, be-
<br />lieved that it would be for the best interests of the Church if such
<br />property was sold and the groceeds used as determined by the-said Beard.
<br />The Chairman then called on Kenneth E. Hilligas, who presented
<br />the following resolution, namely:
