Greetings
from John
Hoffmann,
your new
Board
President
for the next
year
(July-June
2011).!
I suspect
many of you
know me (and
my wife
Pinkie) but
for those
who don't
here's some
info: I
have been
attending
this
Congregation
for 20
years. During
that time,
I've served
on several
committees,
including
Membership,
Social
Action,
Committee on
Ministry,
and the
Search
Committee.
My claim to
fame is that
I was the
winning
pitcher on
our UUCGT
co-ed
softball
team that
took first
place in the
YMCA league
a few years
ago (what
fun!).
Pinkie and I
have been
very active
with the
Wednesday
Night
Suppers,
Dining Out
Group,
Stewardship
campaigns,
and the
fundraising
event, Dinners
at Home.
As Board
President, I
am very
optimistic
about the
future of
our
Congregation.
The new
Board (Maura
Brennan,
Judy
Halsted, Sue
Pyne, Emily
Mitchell,
Charlotte
Shea, Max
Old Bear,
Price Watts)
is very
willing and
ready to
provide
leadership
and guidance
to the
Congregation.
We have
already
started
preliminary
discussions
regarding
staff
issues,
Sunday
services and
pastoral
care
concerns,
possible UUA
consultant
help with
interim
ministry,
and of
course,
financial
issues.
Hopefully
all of us
will be
willing to
help where
possible, be
respectful
of each
other and
enjoy the
opportunities
that lie
ahead during
this
transition
time.
In future
Flash
issues other
Board
members will
share their
thoughts and
observations.
On
Sundays, I
can usually
be found
either at
the Welcome
Table or
having
coffee after
the Service
in the
Social
Hall. Come
say "Hello."
