2017 Pledge Drive will be somewhat different from what has been done in the past
three years and represents an attempt to personalize this activity and use the
event to examine and review how we are doing as a congregation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Several potluck dinners will be arranged
during the month February where FUUSM members and friends will be asked to
discuss what they like about FUUSM , what they think needs to be improved, and
ideas about how we spend our money. Nine people have already agreed to host
these dinners. A representative of the Finance Committee or one of the
Pledge Drive captains (Karen Binkley and Rhea Bockhorst) will be present at each
of these dinners. Participants of these dinners will be asked to complete a
pledge drive form at the end of the dinner event. Those not attending dinners
will be contacted through follow-up telephone calls.</SPAN></P><SPAN
