- Please see the video Linda recorded as an introduction to the proposed MAP.

- The MAP is based mostly on 2020 actual numbers, with two proposed extras: a 1.3% cost of living increase for our staff, and a one-time bonus of $1000 for Mark Donahue and $2000 for Pastor Tim Krick, bringing our budgeted deficit to $17,554.33.
