2023-2024 Spring Pledge Drive

Greetings,

As you may know, this is the second year that the Chequamegon UU Fellowship is holding the annual pledge drive in the spring instead of the fall. This alignment with the Fellowship’s budget year, which runs from July 1 – June 30, gives the CUUF Board advance notice of anticipated income to use while preparing the annual budget in March and presenting it for congregational approval at the annual business meeting in April or May.

Toward that end, we are asking you to make a pledge (not a gift) by April 15 if possible, that will inform our 2023-2024 budget planning. Getting pledge intentions in the Spring also provides some peace of mind as we renew employment contracts and other responsibilities on July 1. It is important to remember that your current pledge for the Fellowship’s 2022-23 budget year runs until June 30, 2023 and all contributions received before June 30 will be credited to your pledge for the 2022-23 budget year unless you specify otherwise with your donation.

You can complete the 2023-2024 pledge form and submit it online at  https://cuuf.breezechms.com/form/ae600565. Or return the enclosed pledge card to CUUF Pledge Drive, P.O. Box 641, Ashland, WI 54806 A return envelope provided for your convenience.

2023 is a banner year for the Fellowship. First, it has been 25 years now since a small group meeting in the Washburn library made the commitment to affiliate with the Unitarian Universalist Association and second, Feb 26 will be our first formal ordination of Stacy Craig as our called minister. These milestones were made possible thanks to the ongoing support of members and friends like you.

We look forward to your joining us in continuing that support!
