probably noticed that there has been no Circle Supper announced for

Suppers are a great way to get to know people in the congregation better.  The conversations are always interesting, the
company enjoyable, and the food tasty. 
And while they are potlucks, we still need someone to host them.  Hosts typically provide the place, tableware
and refreshments, and whatever organization is needed.  I’ll handle the announcements and
reminders.  We work within whatever
limitations you may set (numbers of people, child-friendly or not) for your
home.  </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">To

Suppers at the FUUSM Fellowship Hall reduces the amount of work involved since
any prior cleaning is already done.  Also,
there are sufficient tables, chairs, tableware and dishes already available.  If you do use the Fellowship Hall, just
remember to clean up and return it to the condition you found it or better.  So, if you think your home can’t accommodate
a Circle Supper, just have it at the FUUSM Fellowship Hall.  For those who would like to host in their
home, there is still that option.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The
second thing I would strongly encourage is to team up with others and jointly

more flexibility in dealing with specific tasks. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Please

about anything else (a specific date, other people to team up with, etc.), just
