Work continues on finalizing the design and engineering drawings of the proposed changes to the Social Hall, Kitchen, and West Clifton Entrance. In the meantime, the steering team has obtained capital campaign planning resources from the UCC Building & Loan Fund and has been recruiting the various task group chairs and task group members needed for a successful capital campaign. The task group chairs, with Rev. Sarah Jones (UCC B&LF), Campaign Administrator Kim Katzenberger, and Pastor Joanna, make up the Campaign Executive Team.

Task Group Chairs:

  • Administrative Support & Print and Digital Materials (includes electronic & social media): Val Mechenbier, Scott Suttell, Robin Suttell
  • Commitment Opportunities: Vicki Smigelski
  • Giving Potential & Lead Gifts: Sharon Schuldt, Missy Toms
  • Group Meetings: Patti Komperda
  • Hospitality: Julie Warren
  • Publicity: Nora Katzenberger
  • Recording: Kristen Humphreys

A capital campaign schedule has been established and the task groups listed above are getting organized and ready. More information about the capital campaign kick-off will be presented in January 2024.

In anticipation of the campaign, we have already received inquiries about year-end 2023 charitable contributions. If all goes according to plan, the official pledge campaign and fundraising will begin in February 2024. However, we are prepared to receive contributions anytime. If you desire to make a gift to the campaign before the end of 2023 for tax purposes, please contact Kim Katzenberger or Pastor Joanna.
