Fundraiser Recap
Last Saturday night was the glorious culmination of many months of planning, as we held our Eyes In Disguise fundraiser. We are still smiling, recalling the joy of the music, dancing, great food, and the fun of the raffles and auctions. That joy will be felt for some time to come.
In my last message in this e-newsletter, I took the opportunity to discuss volunteerism at Unity, and how impressed I was by the people that had ‘shown up’ to assist with planning of last Saturday’s event. I do want to recognize that EVERY ONE of those volunteers gave it their all, and I will take the opportunity to fully recognize them.

Although these people have not contributed their time and talents for the recognition, please take the time to express your gratitude, if you have not done so already. Unity relies greatly on our volunteers, and we are lucky enough to have so many willing and capable individuals!
I am grateful for these people coming together to create something wonderful for Unity, and to help ensure the sustainability of our Unity community.
Have a blessed week!
