Policies and Procedures
Manual:
Beverly Halverson and Pam
Bergen have been putting this together and Beverly Halverson presented Kris Gabrielsen with a copy for her to review. The manual will be shared to the Board prior
to the Board Meeting in March in order get input from the Board.
Kris asked the Board for
their opinion of the PNWD Hospitality Assessment Review. It was discussed that UUFM is weak in the
following areas: Membership, adult
programs, public awareness and leadership training. Some discussion as to whether the new RE
Director should be in charge of Adult RE education. The Board felt that the new Director should
concentrate on getting and maintaining a strong program for the children. Kris Gabrielsen
will ask Beth Dell regarding asking some individuals if they would like to lead
the UUFM Adult RE team.
Bernie McGinnis offered to
have signs made that will direct the public to the Fellowship’s services on
Sundays. One will placed next to the
Bank of America and the other by the road at the entrance to the Senior Center. Patriciafaye
Marshall moved and Pam Bergen seconded that approximately $100.00 be spent on
two signs to indicate where UUFM is meeting.
Approved unanimously. Pam Bergen will see to placing the signs on
Sunday mornings.
