Sunday morning, we held our Annual Business Meeting, our annual day to carry out the democratic process we uphold in our UU Principles.
Our outgoing President, Rich Burdge, delivered a report on the past year. Our Fellowship faced many challenges, especially the still-ongoing recovery from our kitchen fire, but also Nancy TannerThies's indefinite leave of absence, and other issues we have dealt with or need to address in the near future.
However, we also have much to be grateful for. Our members have risen to the moment to help our Fellowship weather the challenges and grow. We have a thriving RE program, frequent visitors, and have welcomed several new members. We finished paying off our building, which put us in a financial position to support a local cause.
Hopefully we can keep this momentum going to help our Fellowship thrive and welcome our community to connect with us. There are many ways for people to get involved, and every person's unique viewpoint, interests, and talents can help carry us forward!
Many thanks to Rich for his years of service, and many thanks to the incoming board, who has now officially assumed their offices!
