House Meetings
Meredith

The autumn series of CUC House Meetings are planned to get me to 15 meetings in various member homes. Already 7 of the 15 have happened -- 8 more to go!

Our House Meetings are helping CUC members and me connect and talk about the direction for CUC going forward.

Did you miss -- or will you miss -- the CUC House Meeting for the Zone in which you live? If so, you're encouraged to "crash" the House Meeting of another Zone. Simply alert the host that you're coming.

Web Sites to See

I have sketched some preliminary thoughts about a vision and plan for CUC. I'll be talking to folks and working with CUC leadership over the next several months about firming these up. The vision and plan is presented in seven chapters at the web site, "CUC Matters" (click here). Please read and let me know what you think!
