Interested in serving on the Board of Trustees or the Nominating Committee for FUS? This will be a very exciting time to be in leadership at FUS, with a new settled minister hopefully arriving this summer. For the next year, we will have one opening on the Board of Trustees, and at least one on the Nominating Committee.

 

Who is eligible to serve? To qualify for election to any of these positions, a congregant must be a member in good standing of the church, which includes making and paying a yearly pledge of financial support.

 

If you are interested, what can you do next? You have two choices:

1. Talk to a member of the nominating committee about your interest no later than Sunday April 7, 2013. Nominating Committee members are: Beth Gohdes, Scott Eller, Sue Tincher, Marcia Carlson and Sheila Callander.
2. Use the bylaws process for voting members. According to our bylaws, the following outlines a process for becoming a candidate:

• Put the nomination in writing
• Have it signed by 3 or more voting members of the congregation, and by the candidate
• Deliver the written nomination to the Board of Trustees Secretary (Polly Peterson) by Wednesday April 10, 2013 (at least 35 days before the annual meeting).

Greetings from the Membership Coordinator of the First Unitarian Society!     

 

In anticipation of the upcoming congregational vote on April 14, 2013, we ask your help in verifying our current membership records. We are including in this email what we believe to be an accurate assessment of those we have identified as active voting members. If you believe our records do not accurately reflect your current status as a member, we would appreciate hearing from you so we may clarify and correct, no later than Wednesday April 3, 2013.

 

Please contact our Membership Coordinator, Wendy Reynolds, at 612-377-6608, Ext. 110.

 

A voting member is one who has:

           

Joined and made a recorded contribution to FUS during the 12 months prior to the congregational vote on April 14, 2013.

 

Please speak to the Minister if a waiver request for financial hardship is needed.

 

Thank you for your contributions of time, talent and treasure to the First Unitarian Society. And, if you have been considering membership but have not yet joined, this is an optimal time to show your affirmation of all that FUS brings to you and to the wider community.

 

With appreciation,

Wendy Reynolds, Membership Coordinator

Sundays, April 21 and April 28
These sessions provide newcomers an opportunity to learn more about our Society, our religion, our history, our philosophy and purpose, and how we function. It's a chance to meet and hear from staff and long-time members and leaders in the congregation. You'll also meet others who are engaged in the same search you are. And you don't have to be a newcomer! Everyone is welcome! Childcare can be arranged with at least one week's notice. There will be a sign up sheet available at the Welcome table in the Lower Assembly Hall during Sunday social hour. If you would like to attend and/or you have questions regarding this series or about membership, please feel free to contact Membership Director Wendy Reynolds at 612-377-6608, ext. 110.
