Hello from the edge of a blank canvas that will soon fill with color, energy, music, and purpose. We return with eager caution to our brick and mortar home to celebrate familiar creases in the eyes of our masked smiles, and to smash one another in (consensual) hugs.
This is my first year on the UCE board. What a privilege. What a learning curve! There’s a lot of Big Stuff in here/out there. But it’s no bigger than our own small efforts. As I heard long ago: “do your best work and be kind.”
There is more complicated machinery in our goals than simple philosophy, but I trust it completely for engagement with you, and our shared aspirations.
We’ll keep current with news from the board in this newsletter and other touch points, and hope to hear from you as well.
We gather at our annual board retreat August 20 – 21. You’ll learn in short order what topics, urgencies, and goals are addressed or generated then. I hope there are costumes.
In love and service,
Ally Hunter
