The search for applicants, to be conducted through advertisements in area newspapers followed by interviews, is part of a plan to create a Finance Committee for the board, approved by trustees at a regular meeting Tuesday, April 27. Until now, there has been no Avon Maitland Finance Committee, while the Audit Committee has consisted solely of trustees. Once the new plan is enacted, membership in the Audit Committee will transfer into the Finance Committee, while membership in the new Audit Committee -- to conduct "at least" two meetings per year as a sub -committee of the Finance Committee -- will consist of all Finance Committee members, along with the three outside contributors. The plan "came out of a request for greater trustee involvement in the development of the (board's) budget," explained director of education Geoff Williams, following the April 27 meeting. The mandate of an Audit Committee is narrow, explained Williams, limited strictly to overseeing the auditing of financial statements by an outside agency and questioning that agency about any concerns. To fulfill that role, he suggested, there's sometimes the need for "financial expertise that, an any given time, the board (of trustees) might not have." But that mandate doesn't allow for trustee participation in the formation of the budget. As a result, the board's Policy Committee decided to recommend the creation of a Finance Committee. "The Finance Committee shall meet at least five times a year; once in November or December to review the revised estimates, once in January to review the budget planning, and once each in the months of April, May and June to review progress on developing the budget," states a report from the Policy Committee, provided at the April 27 meeting. According to Williams, there will be no need for outside financial expertise on the Finance Committee, because members won't be required to actually create the budgets; their main function will be to ensure the budget adheres to the board's goals and priorities. "The Finance Committee will recommend the annual draft estimate budget to the board for board approval," the Policy Committee report states. Meetings of all committees of the Avon Maitland District School Board are open to the public.

The HANDS of God (Helping and Nurturing Daughters and Sons of God) Extended team travelled to Sagamok from March 2 to 8, when they shared faith testimonies with the community and provided community service. Bill Dykstra, one of two male students in the bunch, said he saw how much fun last year's team had in a video shown at the school. The video made him decide he wanted to be part of the missionary work. The video also prompted Melissa Arsenault to join the team. "It was a better way to get community service hours." According to Jessica Johnston, her sister went with one of the school's missionary teams to Mexico and told her it was cool, so she joined this year's team. "I wanted to go and experience it." Melissa Sleightholm decided to join the missionary team, because she wanted to improve her relationship with God. After talking with Bridget Bates, St. Anne's chaplain, Tannille Moore said she thought the missionary work would help renew her faith. Both Amber -Leigh Durand and Caitlyn Renner said they joined the team to help people. Renner said she wanted to show others missionary work can be fun. Renner and Suzy Carey, who was absent for the interview, were part of last year's missionary team. When the HANDS of God team went to Sagamok Reserve last year, only one youth from the reserve greeted the team upon its arrival. This year's team was greeted at a welcome mass with 15 youths, noted Bates. Their two-part mission included painting rooms in the church and rectory and painting the choir loft. They also shared their belief in God with faith testimonies. When asked about highlights of their missionary work, four out of the seven students said climbing Mount La Cloche. Aside from the mountain, Johnston said her favourite highlight would have been bingo night. "I'm a bingo nut." Dykstra said he enjoyed sharing his faith testimonies with the community. Arsenault said she enjoyed painting the old church with Dykstra. Sleightholm said the prayed service, square dancing and many laughs made the trip fun for her. She said the people of the reserve referred to the team members as "from the South." Moore said the fun day at Bedeban Elementary School was one of her highlights. Renner's highlights were meeting her pcn pal from last year's missionary excursion and the little boy who hung out with the team and helped them paint. Community Calendar WED.

A press release from Bates stated a food drive was organized through the homeroom classes. "Each homeroom class is given a real family profile of a family on Sagamok Reserve." The team is also collecting food to start their food bank. "They (the people of Sagamok) are in great need, but have never had a food bank on the reserve." According to Renner, the people of Sagamok were happy to have the HANDS of God Extended team come to spend time with them. She added it was amazing how thankful they were. Bates said the drive to and from the Sagamok Reserve was fine and thanked everyone for their prayers. While the team was supposed to go to a French school in Espanola, they were snowed in that morning. All of the students said they would return to Sagamok if given the opportunity. Renner said, "We need more people involved. More boys." Each student was given a gift of a sweet grass incense burner and a teddy bear, which represents strength and leadership. Sleightholm said next year's team will be going to the Sagamok Reserve, but the following year a new missionary destination will be chosen. While they had trouble getting some of the youth out to church, Bates said she is planning on having a road hockey tournament when the team returns in Octo(ir. The chaplain said she hopes to have 60 children in the tournament and hopes to collect 60 new hockey sticks. Each child who enters the tournament will get to take a new stick home with them. The following is the team prayer written by the HANDS of God Extended team: Dear God, In the beginning you created the world with loving and hopeful intentions. To humanity you gave the gift of companionship so that we may help and care for each other. Help us to carry out your intentions through acts of compassion and social justice. Guide us safely on this journey. Give us the strength to demonstrate our best efforts. Help us to he humble and remind us that we come third.
