Eligibility: in addition to having signed the membership book, the bylaws require that you have made a gift of record between May 5, 2012 and April 5, 2013 to vote in this congregational meeting. Any gift will do (cash, check, stock) as long as we received it within the date range and that we can connect it to you (cash in an envelope without your name on it, for example, does not qualify).
