Dear Ones-

Ah- the Congregational meeting- as much a UU ritual as lighting our chalice.  It is part of our “Congregational Polity”- part of who we are as an independently organized institution.  There is no higher authority for our Fellowship than the congregation, and it is at the congregational meeting that our member’s voices can be most audibly heard.

This past Sunday at our congregational meeting, our voices were heard once again.  Among other things, we elected new members to our Board of Trustees.  It always fills my heart with joy to see people “step up to the plate”- people who believe in our Fellowship and  who are willing to work for its success.  To those who will now serve- Naomi, Leslie, Judy, Jeannie, Dottie, Kim and Liz- I offer my deepest “thank you” and “congratulations”.  I look forward to another wonderful year of challenge, growth, opportunities, love and laughter.

And to those wonderful folks who have served so faithfully and who are now leaving the Board – Karen, Mike, Richard, Jackie- I also offer my deepest “Thank you”.  You have guided our Fellowship beautifully, and have served us well.

Finally, I also want to thank the members of our Nominating Committee.  I saw first-hand what a thoughtful, hardworking group you are.  I know the process wasn’t easy.  Clearly, there were challenges.  It is also clear, though, that our Fellowship is tremendously enriched by the dedication to fulfilling your mission that you have shown.   So Seth, Ashley, and Kit- thank you!  Well done!

Wishing you peace and blessings,
John

Thank you UUFS volunteers!

Many thanks to the following who help provide dinners for the HALO women’s and children’s shelter:

Jackie Cox                    Liz Simmons            Dottie Yeatman             Eleanor Insley

Karen Goyer                  Naomi Reed            Ellen Shultz                    Barbara Waldman

Karen Hyman                Jackie Fritch            Leslie Finlayson            Joan Smith

Betty Whitmore            Kit Wright                 Judy Burns                     Melanie Craig

John Wright                    Ian Finlayson

Many of the above provided either casseroles or dessert more than once, and helped to serve and clean up afterwards.  The HALO Café is a safe and warm place that community members can come in, sit down and enjoy a filling, nutritional meal. Hope and Life Outreach (HALO) is able to provide this valuable service to the community, thanks to the generosity of many caring individuals, churches and local businesses. We from the UUFS did our part to provide dinners four times to more than 60 hungry people each time.

Again, MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL!
