You can also link your credit cards and grocery customer cards online on eScrip.com to donate a percentage of your purchases at no cost to you!; after signing up, select our Group ID#: 6426462 (or search for "Rogue Valley")
Semi-Annual General Meeting
Mark your calendar and watch for mailing (agenda; other documents below). We’ll hear from our Ministerial Search Committee and Endowment Trustees. And, it’ll be time to vote on RVUUF’s 2008 Budget; Endowment Trust amendment; Covenant of Right Relations; and Long-range Goals, Objectives, & Growth Scenario. Regarding the growth scenario, the Board will ask us all to come to grips with two questions:
- Do we grow in place here in Ashland?
- Do we actively extend the UU presence elsewhere in the Rogue Valley?
Be prepared to offer your thoughts and cast a definitive vote.
Budget Forum
