Dear Members and Friends,
Your UUCB Board works to keep the lines of communication open. We post monthly updates of Board meetings in the UUCB Messenger emails. Approved Board minutes are available at the UU Church of Boulder website via Quick Links, Member Documents and are posted on the church bulletin board.
Continuing from last year, we’re hosting Board Round Tables and you’re invited to join us on September 28th at 10am in the Emerson Room. Please drop in!
What to expect: a typical Board round table runs from 10-10:45am on select Sundays. We’ll offer Zoom access if requested and hope this timeframe will accommodate both 9am and 11am service attendees as well as those who watch the service remotely.
We will start with a Chalice Lighting, a brief review of respectful relationships and a short update from the Board. The rest of the Roundtable will be for your questions, ideas and comments. At the Roundtable, we typically will have one of the Board Executive Committee present (ie Past, Current or Incoming President) plus 2 of our Board trustees.
We’re showing the suggested dates below, which may occasionally change to accommodate other post-service activities. We are excited about connecting with you and hope you’ll make time to participate and offer your input.
In faith, the UUCB Board
President Robin Miller
