First counts are in

Bill Lorkiewicz does a superb job of tallying the pledges. As you might know, only a few people -- the pledge secretaries -- know who pledges what amount at Trinity. As the stewardship chair, I know... diddly. That's right: I don't know squat. Not a thing.

Well, as to the specifics, that is. Bill does provide me with an overview of the progress of the every-member-canvass. Our first numbers are in; on Sunday, Bill gave me the count for a couple of the saddlebags. With 52 cards returned with pledges listed, our total pledged to date is $84,697. The not-so-good-news is that 9 people reduced their pledge from 2005 by a total of $7686.

I know that Bill will have updated numbers tomorrow night. We'll have to see how we're faring.
