[Fuusm-l] WEEKLY UPDATE 01232017 + PLEDGE DINNER CHOICES

[Chris at FUUSM]

The 2017 Pledge Drive Is Coming!

The 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.  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.
