As you may recall, the church membership voted to sell the bus at the November 15th Church Conference. However, the church Trustees have received information from the NCDOT that a Commercial Drivers’ License is not required to operate the bus if nine seats are removed. The bus is in great shape and been properly maintained over the years (thanks to Gary Frye). Since the bus has more foreseeable value to the Church than the financial gains by selling the bus, the Trustees' interest to sell has changed. The nine bus seats have already been removed and properly stored in case there is a future need to accommodate more passengers. In the meantime, the bus can serve as backup transportation to the smaller bus primarily used by 1st Explorer’s.
