October Message from UUSS Leadership

The UUSS volunteers serving in leadership positions want to keep the congregation updated about current and upcoming conversations. In this monthly message you will find updates from your Board of Trustees, Program Council, and occasionally from the Nominating Committee and Endowment Trust.

Congregational Meeting – Sunday, October 27, after service. Please plan on attending to hear about our Community Partners for 2025 and receive important updates from our Treasurer and other Congregation Leaders. You will also hear about the Strategic Plan and learn the identity of this year’s UUSS Unsung Hero. All are welcome at the meeting, but we need a quorum of voting Members to conduct business. Childcare will continue in the Nursery during the meeting if you need it.

Solar Update: Any day now, our solar panels will be turned on! Gratitude to John McMillan for working through the (hopefully) last hurdle with the County permit. With the financial support of members of the congregation and leadership from the Solar Sisters (Bobbie Keill, Sandra Navarro, Gina Guarneri, and Anara Guard), it’s a shared success as this green project comes to fruition.

Rent out our beautiful facilities: We have wonderful facilities that are available for rental for weddings, parties, family reunions, work events, etc. Consider renting our many spaces (indoor and outdoor, different sizes) for your next event and tell everybody you know about them. Rentals bring us a needed source of income to help carry out our mission. Information about rentals is here on our website. We are building a team to promote rentals of our facilities – if you’d like to support this effort, please reach out to .

Program Council Support: Program Council did not meet in September, but its members continued its work, particularly in providing support and encouragement to newly-formed groups.

How to get in touch with your volunteer leaders:

Your elected Board of Trustees meets monthly. Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 24, 6:30 pm on Zoom and in the Library. You are welcome to join us by accessing the same Zoom link as the Sunday morning services. The Board’s role is to oversee issues of UUSS finances, facilities, personnel and long-range planning; it makes decisions on policies rather than management decisions.
You can find more information about the board and read the minutes and treasurer’s report here uuss.org/board. To contact the Board email 

The Program Council meets on Zoom the third Thursday of each month. Persons interested in attending a meeting or contacting the Program Council co-chairs can email .

Feel free to engage any committee member from Nominating Committee. They have yellow name tags. Or stop by and check out their table when you see it. And lastly you can always reach them by email at .
