End-of-the-Year Activity
As we wind down the year we are finding our newly opened fellowship building in
great demand. The board is currently working on the issues to balance the need to
generate rental income where possible with our desire to be a welcoming member of
the community.
In the old fellowship building we had one “anchor tenant,” the Evergreen
School, which accounted for about 40% of our rental income. In the interim they
have moved on to larger quarters so we are looking for ways to replace that source
of income for the Church operating budget. Over the next several weeks we will be
setting new rates for our facilities to be consistent with the general rental market
and the demand for our fabulous new facility.
We are pleased to announce that in
our last meeting the Board approved a new charter for the Green Sanctuary Team.
You’ve heard about the Squash Hunger movement and the HUUC “Glean Team” so it seemed
appropriate to add a “Green Team” to the mix.
The Green Sanctuary Team’s mission
is to plan and organize activities and to involve the members of the congregation
to bring about positive environmental changes in three areas:
Personal lifestyle choices
Congregational activities
The broader community
In so doing, the Green
Sanctuary Team will also pursue recognition as a UUA Green Sanctuary Congregation.
We would like to wish everyone a great summer.
