Susan Hegner Board Pres.

Our Interim Minister, Rev. Dr. Anthony Johnson, will be here on August 1, 2013.   I am sure you have questions about how we will proceed with the Five year strategic plan and the proposed building Capital Fund drive. Our UUA consultant, Barry Finkelstein, strongly advised the Board to wait on any proposed capital fund-raising until we can share our hopes and dreams with Rev. Johnson.  

However, we have some urgent repairs requiring attention - the air conditioning units for the Octagon and repairing the flashing around the Octagon windows, which will hopefully take care of the roof leaks. During Sunday's annual congregational meeting, one of the items that the Board proposes is to vote on is the release of some restricted funds to take care of these urgent repairs. This is money we have on hand and will not require any additional fund-raising. 

We are planning a pot-luck lunch immediately following service and before the congregational meeting.   Please plan to attend lunch and then this important decision making meeting.  If you cannot attend the meeting, the last page of the meeting informational package sent out earlier this week includes a Proxy form for you to complete and return to the UUC office.

I will see you on Sunday.

Susan

"Immigration is the civil rights issue of our time". Several people, including Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), have stated this, and as legislation goes to Congress, we want our legislators to know that we really want reforms now. There will be a petition on the Social Justice table this week asking that general principles, such as keeping families together and including a path to citizenship, are enacted. Please help by signing this petition, calling our senators to reinforce their work on this, or asking your Representative what his or her position on this will be (Phone numbers will be available at the table).
