• A new Bookkeeper will join us in late July! Watch the newsletters for more details.
• We received a bequest of $133,000 from the estate of Jean Shepard and Bob Gross. This gracious gift will go towards the UUCville Endowment, bringing our Endowment to over $650,000. This is certainly a gift that will benefit future generations.
• The Board authorized use of up to $14,000 in Endowment funds to replace the Fire Alarm Panel. The project includes the cost of installing a new fire alarm panel, wireless phone lines, and one year of monitoring. The current equipment is not functioning and this is must do work.
• The Board appointed Jimmy Gorham to both the Stewardship Steering Committee and the Finance Committee.
• We said a fond and grateful goodbye to both Hayley Owens and Jimmy Gorham as they completed their terms on the Board. Their service, humor, insights, and goodwill are much appreciated! We welcomed new Board member Tammy Wilt!  We all look forward to the new church year as Tammy and Syliva Semmelhack join the Board of Trustees.
