Potential New Building Updates
Background
UUFD is actively exploring the idea of constructing a major addition to our campus – a much needed new fellowship hall. The Building Engagement Task Force (BETF) is charged with coordinating between the design architect and the congregation to provide as much transparency and opportunity for congregational input as possible as we move through this discernment process. We will update this blog as new information becomes available and as decisions are made. This is also a place in which you can make comments and ask questions, and we hope you will.
The Building Engagement Task Force co-chairs are Sherrod Beale and Tom Miller. Members are Mary Ocken, Allison Andersen, Deborah Lykan, and Sheryl Guy. You can also contact any of us personally for questions and comments.
