Approval of sale of Pioneer Camp
A motion came from the Pioneer Sale Commission to approve the winning bid for the sale of Pioneer Camp. The winning bid was $1,810,000. The auctioneers will receive a 4% commission of $72,400, plus the cost of advertising. Motion was approved with 47 in favor, 2 against. The purchaser is a cash buyer, so closing is set for approximately 30 days out from the auction.
Moderator Hohm adjourned the presbytery at 5:42 p.m. with prayer.
