UUFR-VA Administration

President's Corner

As we begin another year together, I reflect again on all the great things that happened in 2011, and I expect 2012 will bring us more ― maybe even surprises. We have welcomed some newer members who are bringing fresh ideas and hands to help.

For 2012, I know already of good things to anticipate:

• The Program Committee has an exciting list of Sunday speakers lined up.
• Contracts have been signed, and work is underway to create the beautiful Memorial Pathways area ― honoring those of our Fellowship who have gone before us.
• An Architectural Design Committee is being organized to gather ideas for expanding our “Home of Our Own” to better host a range of activities and a growing congregation.
• The Board of Stewards is planning a two-day Spring Leadership Retreat to think about and plan seriously for the future of UUFR-VA and its role in the greater community.
• A new electronic forum will be launched in January ― an online place for our members and friends to exchange ideas about our Fellowship. Hank Stupi will be the moderator.
• Two of our members, Devi Herrsche and Judi Caples, will be attending Healthy Congregations Training, a series of four workshops in Richmond, January through April, sponsored by the Southeast District of the UU Association.
• And more…

I am looking forward to being a part of all of these activities. Before the December election, I told our Leadership Development Committee that I welcome “fresh blood” in all of our leadership positions, including the President’s. I was asked by many to continue for another term, and I agreed. To the extent I can contribute time and whatever talents I have to help build and maintain this wonderful Fellowship, I am honored. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.

May the New Year bring you undreamed of blessings.
