Anniversaries are always special, and on June 30, we will celebrate the 'official' end of our three-year Capital Campaign to repair, restore, and improve our beautiful iconic building and its surrounding grounds. A well-deserved festivity is in the planning stages!
It's hard to believe how far we have come. In 2015 the Building Committee under John Turmelle’s expertise evaluated the entire building for needed upgrades, ranking them from critical to important. That report was the basis for our Visioning and Strategic Planning which we did in 2018. In 2018-2019 Liz Coit, a fundraising consultant with the UUA, helped us raise over $2 million for our Capital Campaign....Click HERE for more. |
