Help Decide Next Year’s Shared Offerings

The Social Action Committee is soliciting nominations for Shared Offerings for 2015!

Do you know of a non-profit organization that you think is deserving of a financial contribution from the church? The Social Action Committee (SAC) is now soliciting nominations for the 2015 Shared Offerings to be chosen by members and friends of the church at the November SAC meeting. Those organizations that are chosen for a Shared Offering will receive half of the plate cash collection and all designated checks from each Sunday service for a month.

There are three ways to nominate an organization:

1. In the Order of Service on Sunday, October 5th, there will be a form you can fill out to nominate an organization. You can take that form to the SAC table in the Fellowship Hall afterward.
2. Use the new online nomination form, available here.
3. Email Ryan Latvaitis, SAC chair, with your suggestions at ryan.latvaitis@gmail.com.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, November 14^th.

The meeting to choose 2015's Shared Offerings will be Monday, November 17^th at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Shared Offering choices are divided among local organizations (usually 6-7), as well as national (2-3) and international (2-3). Organizations are chosen to represent different categories of help, such as Housing, Environment, Food, Children, Medical/Health, and social justice concerns, and will also be discussed regarding how well they align with UU Principles as well as their charity rating, if available.
