BUC Special Congregational Meeting

Submitted by eklees on March 9, 2010 - 10:57pm

Please plan to attend an important Congregational Meeting which is to be held following the Morning Service (approximately 11:30 am) on Sunday, March 21, 2010.      

This meeting is being called to vote on the following resolution proposed by the board: 
 
Mindful of the thoughtful efforts of many before us and having heard the congregation’s wish for welcoming, visible and accessible space which could be met in a variety of places, the Board recommends that the congregation remain in its present building for the foreseeable future, and renovate as appropriate.
 
   If this resolution passes then a second resolution will be offered as follows:
 
The Board recommends spending no more than $40,000 for parking lot drainage and asphalt paving and for erecting two new signs, one at the southeast corner and one in the parking lot.
 

Waste High with Electronics and Chemicals

Submitted by eklees on March 9, 2010 - 10:49pm

The March 6th Household Hazardous Waste Collection service was a rousing success. At least 125 cars dropped off paint, chemicals, batteries, TVs, appliances and electronics. We filled up a 10 foot long U-Haul, a pick up truck and ten palletized boxes. Many, many thanks go out to the BUC people who helped out:  Candace & Christian, Josh, Betsy, Beth, Lloyd, Sam & Susan, Bethany, Adrian, Jean, Char, Allan, Lyle and Fran.  

Mucho Gracias to Beverly Bank & Trust and Alderman Ginger Rugai, whose financial support made this event a lot more gratifying. The Green Sanctuary Group is using the funds collected from donations for dropping off waste to finance TreeKeeper scholarships, worship service speakers, the electric charging station, educational forums and a trip to GA this June.  We hope to involve more congregations in the future so that more residents are able to take advantage of this service.

Architectural Feasibility Study is Here!

Submitted by Leah on November 16, 2009 - 8:41pm

Last spring the Congregation decided to gather additional information before making a decision about whether to remain in the Castle.  A critical piece of that information has just arrived.  The architectural team has sent us the feasibility study for castle improvements and copies have been emailed to church members and friends.  We also have several hard copies to borrow in the back of the sanctuary at church.  The architects have been very thorough in their research of building codes, of historical preservation, and of green building options, in order to meets our needs for accessibility, comfort, storage, visibility and community space.
