2012 Annual Fund Drive
Update - 5/11/2012
A HUGE Thank You to everyone who made a commitment, increased your giving level and stretched even further last weekend to help us reach towards our 2012-13 goal. Thanks to your generous support the Annual Fund Drive raised over $704,000 from 346 households, an 11% increase over last year's drive. These are both record amounts for our congregation! It is an amazing accomplishment in the face of our challenging economic times. Through your commitments, the Board and Administrative Team have been able to draft a stronger budget for FY13 which we will be voting to adopt at the Annual Meeting. Thank you for your generous support of our congregation!

Update - 5/2/12
This year, the Board of Trustees set what we believe to be an achievable and important budget goal but we are going to have to stretch to get there. Our proposed budget moves our ministers and staff towards the levels of compensation recommended by the UUA fair compensation guidelines. We also need to increase funding for our stellar music program and address the space needs for our Sunday morning RE Program. As of today, however, the member commitments we have received leave us $35,000 short of that target.
If you have already made a commiment, we truly appreciate this commitment and we are hoping that you can help us stretch to meet our goal. Take the time to reflect on how much you are willing to give--how much more--to help us reach these critical goals.
We truly believe we can reach this goal with your help. We need to support our exciting and growing family. Please stretch a little further if you can – our needs are critical and our gratitude is boundless.
THANK YOU!
