Hi All,
There are many matters in the recent ED Report that merit discussion. I do hope we can schedule a Board Meeting where we can assemble face to face. I can assure all that much visioning, conversation and planning has been conducted by our Board during the 5+ years I have been a part of it.
I wish for all to know that it is the job of the EDs (and their marketing volunteers) to contact churches about upcoming events, like the Astronomy Weekend. They will need to access the various congregations' administrators or newsletter editors to ascertain their deadlines. Unfortunately that announcement needed to be in the February Newsletter for a March event. February newsletter deadlines are usually closer to mid-January. First UU Austin's deadline is the 15th of the previous month. UU Church of the Hill Country's is the 18th. San Gabriel UU's is the 20th. I am presenting the Men's Fellowship Retreat announcement now to the various Newsletter Editors shown below for the March publications prior to the April 5-7 retreat.
That said, there are other means to publicize at this late date, including posting flyers at Churches and in weekly emailed announcements. The following local congregations need to be contacted via the web or phone to ascertain their deadlines and suggested means to advertise events at UBarU:
First UU Austin
First UU San Antonio
Live Oak UU Church
Wildflower UU Church
San Gabriel UU Fellowship
UU Fellowship of Austin
UU Church of Corpus Christi
Community UU Church San Antonio
Waco UU Fellowship
Kerrville UU Fellowship
UU Church of the Hill Country
San Marcos UU Fellowship
Respectfully,
Mark
