Junior Warden, Annual Report, 2015
Johnny Davis
Researched and did a study on our utility bills—mainly gas- heat and telephone. We
were able to reduce our phone bill by over half with the help of Becky Fisher. I have
been able to keep a closer watch on thermostats to lower temperatures when not in use
and thus save money on heating bills.
I organized a team to cut the riverbank this year and saved $800 by doing it ourselves.
Thanks go to Johnathan Davis, Tommy Hicks and Roger Key for assisting me.
Scaffolding was needed for the conservators to study the Tablets and I was able to pick
it up saving delivery costs. Roger Key assisted me in the set up.
A broken heat grate was very costly to replace but Stanley Fields helped by repairing the
original grate.
I worked with the county by locating and getting the septic tank pumped at the Parish
House.
In July I led a group from St. Peters to do gleaning in the Northern Neck fields for the
Food Bank. We picked corn on five hot days. Thanks Becky, Tucker, and Kimberly
Fisher, Ed Harper, Jim and Elizabeth Heimbach, Ben Hicks and Cookie Davis.
Every third week of the month I go to the Northern Neck Food Bank and pickup 500-800
lbs. of fresh vegetables and canned goods for our local food distribution (Village
Harvest). Cookie has been assisting me in selecting items and unloading them.
I thank the Vestry for continuing to support Hunters for the Hungry. My hunt club took
several deer to them this year to be processed. I will pick up the packaged venison and
take it to Caroline Social Services where it will be distributed as usual. We have done
this successfully for more than 5 years.
Painting has continued on the outside of the church. Jesse Clark has about one more
hour of painting with a lift to reach the belfry. We have hired him to paint the Parish
