M & L -- Not Just an Acronym!

The Membership and Leadership Committee (M &L) has certainly been active as of late. They planned awonderful UU 101 session this past January that wasattended by 15 prospective members. This event gave abrief overview into the history of Unitarian Universalismand the programs we offer at UUCCSM. This committeeis also responsible for the Newcomer Orientation heldeach month to welcome new visitors to the church. M &L frequently helps plan church events and is theumbrella group for the ushers, greeters, and coffee committee. Pat Gomez has led M & L for the last three years;she has done an amazing job. We have valued her organizational skills and passion for UUCCSM. This summerPat is stepping down and we need a new chair. We arealso looking for more congregational members who arelooking for ways to get involved. This committee reallyhelps to link people up within our church, and in orderto do that we need people who enjoy working with others - people with an interest in leadership, covenantgroups, event planning, hospitality, and a passion forstrengthening our community. We meet on the firstWednesday of the month and welcome all who are interested. For more info please contact Patricia Gomez.

Thanks.
