Newsletter 2023-02: Memorial Committee - 

FYI - The Memorial Committee is busy working on updating the Memorial Books. If you wish to make a donation in honor of a past resident we ask that the minimum amount be $5.00. We thank you in advance as this makes it easier for our accounting records. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me about the Memorial Committee.

(2021-04 Newsletter) Memorial Committee - 

The Board would like to give Irene Phillips a huge “Thank You” for working on this committee by herself the past few years. She has done a fantastic job. Thank you again Irene.

​

Mel Wendel has offered his services for the Memorial Committee.  However, he also expects some volunteers (3-5 is a good group) to step up and offer support. Please consider giving Mel a call (701-840-2339) and volunteering to help him. If volunteers step up, the Board will continue their support of this committee. Otherwise, the Board may have to take further action under advisement. We are anticipating your positive response to support our community in this endeavor. Thanks

 

In case you’re not aware of this committee or have forgotten its purpose – those working on it are in charge of the "Gift and Memorial Fund". The following should give you an understanding of just what that means.

 

SEPO GIFT & MEMORIAL Fund

Ref: SEPO ByLaws  -  ARTICLE VII - 05  -  CHECKS, DEPOSITS AND FUNDS

 

All funds accumulating in this fund shall be administered by a committee of five (5) members to be appointed by the Board of Directors.

Duties of this committee include the keeping of detailed records of contributions including the names of those wishing to be remembered or in whose honor a contribution is made and the amount given. 

 

Although consideration will be given for a specific memorial item requested by the donor, the committee will not be restricted to that use taking into consideration the overall needs and appropriateness of the particular memorials.
