HAPPY NEW YEAR Y’ALL 
As your incoming UUFA board president, I’m going to try to share a thought or two in each Greensheet. Call it a New Years Resolution if you like. I write a lot of business-y stuff for work and a lot of usually snarky things for social media, so trying to write something earnest and UU-centric will be an interesting challenge. January has already packed a lot of action to its short time with us, but what I’m looking forward to the most is our first UUFA Executive Board meeting of the new year, on Saturday, January 9, at 2:30 pm via Zoom. If you’d like to join us, or want to reach me about anything at all, I’m at suusanw.uu@gmail.com. Peace.
