Moving Along

This day consisted of a multiplicity of tasks that took up most of the working hours of the office day.  Opening reports for the Arizona Conference were being prepared by my able administrative assistant.  This was made more difficult by the failure of certain schools to submit their local opening reports.  It sets off a domino effect as missing reports keep required reports from being completed on time, which certainly keeps other reports down the chain of processing from being used to produce other reports on time.  Oh, well…we sent some “friendly reminders” again.

PUC and Baybarz Scholarships are being processed today and tomorrow.  As hard as we try to remedy chronic gaps in information there are applications that are still not complete at the deadline.  These poor students will literally lose their scholarships if the missing documents are not submitted no later than Thursday, since incomplete applications submitted to the PUC office are disqualified out of hand.  The clock is ticking.

The AAEF deadline is past, but we extended the deadline on some university scholarship applications in order to help more students with the new funds we located.  It is not an infinite amount of money, but it is sufficient to reward those parents who were willing to take a step of faith this year.  God provided again.  I am confident we will be able to fund the requests we receive.

 By the way, after much planning and waiting, today we shot some footage to what we hope will be a DVD on the Arizona Tax Credit program to be used in the Arizona Conference churches.  It is about time!  This project was a long time coming.  Thanks to AT we have finally gotten it off the ground.  I’m looking forward to seeing the final product.

On a personal note, my mom moved recently from the duplex Penny and I share, preferring the cooler climates of Desert Hot Springs to the toasty weather of the Valley of the Sun.  Go figure! (229.0)
