The Membership Committee is planning several events this spring, including a new member welcoming ceremony, an orientation luncheon for those interested in membership or Unitarian Universalism, and a volunteer appreciation luncheon.

We would love to have you participate in our committee! If you are interested in becoming more involved at Northlake, the membership committee is a great way to get to know people at Northlake and to get plugged into the life of the church. From Sunday morning greeting to welcoming new members to all–church events, this committee has a lot of ways to participate. Long–time member or newcomer, your I input is very valuable! In fact, newer folks tend to have a unique, fresh perspective and it would be extremely helpful to hear from you. We meet on the third Thursday of the month, 7:00 PM. You can come check us out [we don’t bite] and see if this is a committee in which you’d like to participate. And of course we’re always open and eager for suggestions.

Volunteer opportunity! The membership committee is actively seeking a Volunteer Coordinator. The primary responsibility of this person would be to tabulate the results of the volunteer skills surveys that have been filled out by Northlakers and to then link people with specific skills and interests with appropriate committees or projects. If you are interested in finding out more information on any of the above, please contact Ron Krohn, Membership Chair, at 425-828-7285 or .
