Communications & Marketing Task Force Launches

The Ad Hoc Communications and Marketing Task Force has launched its work to strengthen GMUUC’s visibility in the wider community and enhance external outreach. The team, Leslie Wolfe (chair), Jim Holmes (co-chair), Chelsea Reid, Kathy Manzella, Robin Elrod, and Alex Kraft, brings expertise in radio, television, education, public relations, and design. Focusing on external communications, the group aims to expand GMUUC’s reach through digital platforms, social media, local press, and improved highway signage. Concurrent with developing a comprehensive, long-term communications plan for the Board of Trustees by

July 1, 2026, the team will be working toward shorter-term improvements to our external communications.

Scholarship Fund Now Includes Summer Camps — Applications Open! 

We are excited to share that the GMUUC Board has expanded the Scholarship Fund to support summer camps and enrichment programs for children and youth, as well as ongoing support for post-secondary education. This change allows us to help nurture growth, learning, and exploration for families in our congregation.

Applications for K–12 camp programs are due March 1, and for post-high school programs, July 1. Please send a brief request letter and proof of enrollment or acceptance to Chelsea Reid at admin@gmuuc.org. Priority consideration will be given to active GMUUC participants and UU-affiliated programs. Recipients may reapply each year.

To help grow this important fund, join us for our Holiday Cookie, Candy, and Craft Sale on November 23 and December 7, with crafting also planned during the Thanksgiving potluck. All proceeds will benefit the Scholarship Fund and support our GMUUC families.

Thank you for helping us open doors to meaningful learning experiences—and we hope to see you at the fundraiser!
