There Should Be Some Advantage To Being A Fair Share Congregation

Hello dear readers.

I seem to be getting all sorts of good gossip these days, but this one is the most important to me.

It seems that the President of my district (Central Midwest for those of you who didn't remember) is a part of a congregation that is not in full Fair Share status with either the UUA or the district. Or at least that's what the gossip is.

This does not seem fair to me. There really should be some advantage to being a Fair Share congregation.

Is this a common occurrence in other districts? How can the President of a district faithfully stand there and talk about congregations contributing to the district at Fair Share levels and yet not be part of a congregation that is doing just that?

I'm developing a headache trying to make sense of this. So I shall stop here.

When 'I Told You So' Are The Only Words That Come To Mind

hello dear readers.....

the grapevine tells me that this year's Central Midwest District annual meeting lost money. hmmm......seems as if I was talking about some of the problems a few months ago.

but since my mother told me that if I didn't have anything nice to say to not say anything, I think I will keep my mouth shut.

until next time...............................
