The congregation overwhelmingly approved to move forward with the Fire Alarm Installation.  
Work will begin after the new year.

At the meeting, Mel Burrowes included in the motion, an appeal to the congregation to raise at least $25,000.  This will prevent us from withdrawing the whole amount from our Endowment Fund.

Interesting enough, there are approximately 115 giving households in our VUCC family.  
 If  each  were able to give a gift of $225, we would reach that goal!

CONTRIBUTIONS from our VUCC family are appreciated.  We have received >$6,000 already. 

All monies not received in donations will be withdrawn from our Endowment Fund, which now stands at $773,759.

Notes from Maria Groody, Moderator

We are still in need of a Church Clerk, since September.  Although ChatGPT has been taking minutes for us, it still requires editing.  Unfortunately ChatGPT cannot upload the minutes to the Council Drive, or complete the many tasks that will need to be done prior to our Annual Meeting.  If you are interested, please contact Paula Hagan, Vice Moderator of Human Resources or contact me, as I have been Church Clerk for three terms.
