A Grand Celebration
Sunday October 10th was a sunny beautiful Fall day, a perfect day for a celebration. Usually, when you work for weeks to plan an event, you know that something will eventually not work out as you had planned. It may rain on the parade day, the wedding cake will be dry, or only a handful of guests arrive for your party. You learn to make the best out of it even with these unexpected surprises.
So I was pleasantly surprised when everything turned out better than expected for our 50th Anniversary Kick-off celebration. Not only was it a beautiful day, but the attendance far exceeded our expectations! It was wonderful to see the sanctuary filled to capacity, with enough people sharing in singing that we filled the space with sounds to equal the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!
It was so very nice to see the response to our call for members and friends to share in this event whether it was the sign dedication, the art display, the free food, appreciation for Nana, or the 50th that brought everyone to HUUC that day, it was a wonderful experience.
The congratulations to the committee keep coming and it feels really good to be appreciated and to share those thanks with all the people who made it happen. I would like to thank them here individually, but I also applaud all of you who made it a successful day by participating. It would not have been the same without each of you.
The 50th Anniversary Committee would like to thank the following people for helping on the 50th Kick-off event:
Nana’ Kratchovil, Nancy Witt Johnson, Jessica Sheldon, Jackie McDonald, Judy Root, Jean Scarbrough, Linda Riehl, Marcia Hovey Wright, Cathy Kaufman, Leo Szost, Suzanne Meier-Szost, Andy Fink, Ike Stephenson, Jessica Sheldon, Loretta Vandenende, Pieter Vandenende, Bill Wright, Jim Stier, Shawn Willson, Ann English Rappoport, Beth Spencer, James Messick, Adde Lou Garter, Tonya Rund, Barb Exton, Marv Johnson, Marian McIntyre, and Ruth Berlow.
We look forward the the continuation of the celebration in the next six months cumulating on April 23 and 24 with another special event with speaker Gini Courter.
Congratulations HUUC!
Cathy Kaufman
