At today’s Winter Gardening Series classes, participants donated $41.35 toward our Solar Match Fund. When the Faithify campaign is live, I’ll contribute $31.35 that way (using my own credit card and pocketing the cash). $10 contributed today came by check to FUUSM, with Solar Match Fund in the subject line, so I’ll deposit it in the collection plate next week. You’re just going to have to trust me that I’m being honest about all this. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. Tim and I made a three-minute video to go with the Faithify campaign. It’s not professional, and it’s not great, but it’ll do, I think. I’ve posted it on Youtube. Please take a look at it and let me know if you think I should change anything—especially if, like, I’ve misspelled anything in the titles, or misspoken. I’ve uploaded it to youtube. You can watch it here:<b class=""> <a href="https://tinyurl.com/FUUSM-solar" class="">https://tinyurl.com/FUUSM-solar</a></b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3. Ann Bragg and her husband Andy Garcia have signed up for the Just Dinner on Feb. 16, so we still have room for <b class="">nine </b>more people. Jan Adams expressed interest, but with no commitment. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">4. During the announcements today, I misspoke. I said that the Just Dinner was a fundraiser for the Solar Match Fund. I was wrong. It’s for the general fund—something I advocated at a Green Sanctuary Committee meeting a few months ago. So, I’ll let Ann and Andy know that. I suspect they’ll still be willing to attend anyhow.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think that’s all, for now.
