Hats Off to the Pledge Drive Team: March 19, 2021

Our Hats are Off to our 2021-22 Pledge Drive Team – Marianne Griebler, Tom Carlton, Susan Carlton, Tom and Alicia Hempfling, and Susan Comstock – for your creativity, wisdom, expertise, and enthusiasm. Marianne has put heart, soul, and mind into making our first ever virtual pledge drive a success. You really know how to celebrate people’s time, talent and treasure. Tom Carlton contributed his skill and expertise working with our database and analyzing our shared giving history. Susan Carlton and Susan Comstock helped to organize our pledge drive celebration, and Tom and Alicia Hempfling made the evening so fun and engaging. Thanks to Adam Gough for your technical help during the event.

The commitment of our members and friends to the mission of UCE has been evident in the number of pledges pouring in, most of them meeting or exceeding our ask. Thanks to all of you who have contributed so far, and know that we still need your pledge if you haven’t yet sent it in.

Thanks to the artists who contributed their work for thank you postcards – Peggy Boccard, Allyson Hunter, Rory Presto, Kathy Talmage, Johna and Will Van Dyke, Maggie Weiss, and Maggie Wilson. Thanks to Amy Dooley for her beautiful tree graphic conveying how our pledge dollars contribute to the mission of UCE. Thanks to Marianne Griebler, Shirley Adams, Melanie Kitchner, and Carolyn Laughlin for writing all those thank you notes. And finally, thanks to our amazing Communication Coordinator, Jessica Meis, for sending all those emails, entering all those pledges, and promoting the drive so well.

We really are a collaborative team, a shared ministry of time, talent and treasure!

Thank you all.
