Church Friends and
Members,
Please welcome Samuel Shore
as our new Membership Coordinator. He will officially join our staff on January
1st, 2014.
The purpose of his
position is to integrate visitors, friends, and new members into church life
and deepen the connections of ongoing members to each other and the church. To
those ends, you’ll find Sam at the church on Sundays and Wednesdays and during
events, meetings, and other office hours he’ll announce.
Sam Shore comes to us with a
background in involving volunteers in activities and in using social media to
mobilize volunteers. Sam has been the Coordinator for the Foundation Beyond
Belief International Light the Night project, which has raised money for The Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society since 2012, when they raised $430,000 – the largest amount ever raised by a
first year non-corporate team and the fourth largest amount raised by any team
in the nation in that year. In addition, Sam spent two years as the Social
Media Director for the Illini Secular Student Alliance, both during his time at
the University of Illinois and after he graduated in
2011 with a B.A. in History. He was recognized multiple times by the Alliance and the Center for Inquiry for outstanding
achievements in the areas of service work, diversity initiatives, and internet
outreach as part of the Alliance’s
leadership team. Sam has also been active in politics and is currently helping
to found a Champaign County Young Democrats chapter.
The Membership
Coordinator Search Committee would like to thank all who assisted our search to
find this talented addition to our church staff.
With appreciation,
Millie Davis, Chair
Membership Coordinator Search Committee, and Members Cindy Loui, Elaine
Gehrmann, Tanja Hodges, Peggy Patten, and Axel Gehrmann.
