Notice was given in the August 20th issue of Baptist Progress that all trustee/committee recommendations and proposed budgets are due for publication on or before Friday, September 19th at noon. Due to the fact that some trustee boards will not have met and thus have their recommendations ready by the special deadline, we have extended the deadline to Thursday, October 2nd at noon. Recommendations and proposed budgets are needed from each department’s trustee board, the Administrative Committee and the Nominating Committee by Thursday, October 2nd at noon to be published in the October 15th issue.
