Mike,<br>
Thanks for this reminder on the Chalice Lighter grant. I finally
got around to donating for the Spring 2022 call (which is still
open) and I plan to donate for the other 2 calls per year. <br>
<br>
For everyone's benefit, the webpage at which you can do this is --
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.uua.org/midamerica/giving/chalice-lighters/2022-spring-call">https://www.uua.org/midamerica/giving/chalice-lighters/2022-spring-call</a><br>
<br>
I specifically put a comment with my donation on the website,
telling them of my FUUSM membership, as there was no place to add
that info on the form.<br>
<br>
Hopefully having more FUUSM's signed up would help our chances of
being a future Chalice Lighter grant recipient.<br>
<br>
Tom<br>

UU Church of
Amherst is
very grateful
for the
Chalice
Lighter Grant
we
received. It
has allowed
our
congregation
to stay
connected with
professional
quality video
streaming and
YouTube
recordings.
The
congregation
has been so
enthusiastic
over the
hybrid
services that
some are
choosing to
stay remote,
watch at their
convenience or
go to the
watch parties
and pre or
post service
chats. Beyond
the services,
for our elder
members or
those
technologically
insecure, we
have had a
tech person to
teach them on
laptops or
iPads so they
can be truly
connected to
Zoom events,
lessons, book
clubs, women’s
group and much
more. Our
annual meeting
will be done
remotely so
all members
can have
access. We are
so
appreciative
and hope that
others will
take advantage
of the Chalice
Lighter Grant
program. <a

was awarded a
grant in the
winter of
2022.<br>
<br>
“We have three
groups working
on this
project and
progress is
being made at
a nice clip. A
technical team
was formed and
is progressing
towards
acquiring
equipment for
live streaming
and for an
in-sanctuary
Zoom
capability.
Part of the
equipment has
been received
and tested.
The remaining
items should
be ordered
within the
next few
months.
Several
individuals
are pursuing
the needs for
sanctuary
lighting and
have contacted
and met with
an experienced
individual who
has made some
preliminary
recommendations.
A committee on
membership/outreach is exploring ways to acquire the expertise needed to
help better
define the
needs and
strategy to be
used in this
area.”<br>
<br>
Sometimes it
takes a while
before a grant
can be used to
spark change.
In the spring
of 2020, <strong><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Unitarian
Universalist
Fellowship of
Northern
Westchester,
Mt. Kisco, NY</span></strong>
was awarded a
grant to add a
part-time
Membership
Coordinator to
their
staff. The
disruption of
the pandemic
made them wait
to take the
grant or make
the hire, but
it also showed
the importance
of social
media and
outreach
skills in
adding and
retaining
members. The
job
description
was expanded.
After a long
search, UUFNW
has found a
great
candidate who
is excited to
start in the
next few
weeks.<br>
