<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Here is the email I'd like to send to everyone except Sally. (Photo attached.) The email address we'll have to exclude is <a href="mailto:ucm.dre@gmail.com">ucm.dre@gmail.com</a>. I'm not sure if she has any other email addresses that she uses to receive UCM emails.</div><div><br></div><div>Subject: Showing Our Thanks to Sally this Sunday</div><div><br></div><div>Message:</div><div><br></div><div>Dear members and friends of UCM,</div><div><br></div><div>Please join us as we celebrate and offer our thanks to our retiring Director of Religious Education, Sally Armstrong, this Sunday! There are a couple ways you can participate.</div><div><br></div><div>First, we are putting together a <b>gift basket of cards and small gifts</b> that Sally might enjoy in her retirement. These can be simple gifts (e.g. an adult coloring book, “emergency” chocolate, a plant, a gift certificate, etc.). Your contributions will be gathered in a gift basket in the Vestry before service. Look for the basket behind the Hospitality Table.</div><div><br></div><div>Second, following the service, we will gather in the vestry for refreshments and a brief program. I will lead the program, and <b>you are invited to share memories and words of gratitude to Sally</b>.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope you will join us to honor Sally as she prepares to conclude her time as UCM's Director of Religious Education.</div><div><br></div><div>With love and gratitude,</div><div>Rev.
