NEWS FROM (UUFA PRESIDENT) SUUSAN
Hi Everyone!
March is just around the corner and I am starting to see more signs of spring–people posting pix of early flowers online, more sunlight and longer days, all the good things we look forward to through the darker months.
Spring at the UU Fellowship means we are preparing for our Annual Meeting on April 24. Please save the date and make plans to join us. As always we need a quorum of our members in order to conduct the Fellowship’s business, including voting on our budget for the new fiscal year that starts in July. If you are considering making a financial pledge to the Fellowship, please send that info to us as soon as possible so we can approach our budgeting exercise with as much input as possible. Thank you!
Peace, Suusan suusanw.uu@gmail.com ; 240-305-0860
