Position Description
|
Working with
Beth Edwards, bookkeeper, regarding financial record keeping & providing
information for committees about funds availability.
|
|
What
is the best part of your job?
|
|
Getting to know the office staff and
members of the committees with whom I work. These are the people who make
the presbytery click.
|
What
is something many people don't know about your job?
|
|
Most people think I do what Beth Edwards
is doing - recording financial transactions, writing checks and preparing
financial reports. Most people do not know there is another side of finances
as described in the brief job description above. |
What
profession other than your own would you like to try?
|
|
That's an easy one - being a librarian.
I have always used and been interested in libraries since I was old enough
to read. I served on the Hardy County Library Commission for 24 years!
|
What
profession would you least like to try?
|
|
Being the administrator of a program
where there are many staff persons does not appeal. I think I am
too much a Pollyanna to cope with all the problems.
|
What
is the last book you read?
|
|
"Straight from the Gut" - an autobiography
of Jack Welch, the retired CEO of GE. Biography is my favorite reading,
even fictional novels such as "Dollye" (about Dollye Madison) and "Those
We Love" (about Abigail Adams.)
|
If
you could have dinner with any person, living or dead, whom would you
choose?
|
|
That's easy, too - my husband. We had
25-1/2 years of a wonderful life together. I liked his kindness, sense
of humor, and intellect. And he tolerated me!
|
How
would your friends describe you?
|
|
Maybe kinky. It is difficult for most
to believe that people actually like to prepare tax returns. And
I trust that some will remember I am still available.
|
What
would you eat for your last meal?
|
|
A big glass of orange juice, scrambled
eggs, a homemade cinnamon roll, a small pot of coffee. To make it
perfect would be the accompaniment of the morning newspaper.
|
What
is the best advice you have received and who gave it to you?
|
|
My father's favorite soapbox oration
to his children was "You must give back to the community as much as you
received from it." I have tried to fulfill that advice, but sometimes it
is difficult as have had a wonderful life. Often I wonder if I have done
enough.
|
When
you get to heaven, what would you like God to say?
|
|
Thank you for your kindness to family
and being kind to others who have not been as fortunate as you.
