[Coc] Spring "New UU" Invitation

[Rev. Joan Javier-Duval]

Hi, committee chairs and leaders,

I had the great pleasure of meeting with this spring's New UU class
yesterday evening. What a great bunch! I do hope you will take some brief
time this Saturday to meet them and talk with the group about the programs
and ministry of your committee/team. Please email Elaine to arrange for a
time.

And, I will look forward to talking with you about my trip to Honduras. I
returned late Monday night. It was an intense and meaningful experience. I
have a lot to share and am just feeling incredibly inspired by the people
of Honduras.

With love,
Joan
