Twin sisters Margarine and Irene Yates are seated to the right in the photo.

CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS: The Trustees have been undertaking a number of church projects: ceiling repairs in the fellowship hall, soffit repairs and church painting outside, awning installation over basement door, installation of additional railing at back exit door, and clearing weeds and excess growth. We especially thank Mother Rogers, Bro. Wayne Webb, and Bro. Charlie Jackson for voluntarily clearing our landscape. Various trustees have recommended different companies that have performed work at their residences to submit bids for our church projects. Because of their prior work for these trustees and their own religious involvement, they submit very competitive bids. Yet to be conducted is repair of the parking lot, but bids are being evaluated. Trustees are as follows: Anita Lenoir, Chairperson; Charlie Jackson, Treasurer; Brenda Shivers, Financial Secretary; and Judy Massenburg, new recruit.
ART AWARD: Sister LaNaya LeDoux placed second in an Office of Kansas Youth art contest. She will be attending the Kansas City Art Institute starting in August this year. Her winning art submission is in the Gallery.
TO THE MT. OLIVE MEMBERSHIP
Our Trustee Board is at a critical point trying to fulfill all of our responsibilities. Judy Massenburg who was confirmed by the church membership Sunday, March 1, joined the Trustee Board this year raising the membership to four. The Board continues to solicit members who desire to join them OR, alternatively, are willing to voluntarily assist as needed. The focus of those who volunteer will be to help complete current and/or future projects, which address the physical upkeep of the Church.
If you are interested in either becoming a Board Member or Volunteer, please communicate your interest by contacting any of the present Trustee Board members who are Charlie Jackson, Anita Lenoir, Judy Massenburg and Brenda Shivers. Thank you.
