<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Hi CoC: I apologize for not attending last night's meeting. It was on my calendar . It was entirely my fault. Diana is our super chair, but she is extra busy and some of us volunteered to take on some tasks normally carried out by the Chair to help her out. I had volunteered to be CoC rep. </span>

Laura has also set up a UCM Climate Action Google Group of about 30 members who are specifically interested in climate action. We on C.A.T. often do communicate information with this google group about Central Vermont happenings related to climate action . We also have a google group with oher UU churches, primarily the UU Society in Burlington . We did have a meeting with the Burlington group over the summer. <br></span>

This sub committee both assists directly and indirectly in the worship services and hopefully will do so at least once a month. We have led a break-out room during coffee hour in services directly related to protecting the earth. .</span>

Catherine Lother)who have attended regularly and a few who have come irregularl in the past. One dedicated member Catherine Lowther is severely injured . Thus one task has been to recruit new members. So far we have had little success. We have one member who attends fairly often from the Four Corners Church in Hartland. We did meet all summer. <br></span>

Hi All,

I'm sorry that LSE won't be represented at the meeting tonight. Liza and I both have prior commitments and we weren't able to recruit anyone from the committee to represent us. We did just have an LSE meeting today (outside the church on this beautiful day!) and Liza updated us on air quality work.

As a brief LSE update, in case someone would like to share with the group, we are working on care packages for the 60 families in the congregation, to hopefully be delivered next week. Since the beginning of the church year, we've had good showings at our Children's Chapel online time from 9:15-9:45, which is now hosted by Liza one week and an LSE volunteer the following week. Middle School and High School youth groups are having one meeting in person each month and occasionally a zoom meeting as well. Liza is hoping to continue to offer a 3rd Sunday outdoor gathering through December. October's was cancelled due to a Covid close contact. I believe there at least 10 small group ministries that have started or restarted this year! Wow!
<br>
<br>THank you all and have a great meeting!
