The  CVUU Board of Directors met on Thursday  October 19 , 2023 via Zoom.    Board meeting minutes are typically available upon request from the CVUU Board Secretary or the Congregational Administrator ( Susie Gullixson) approximately 30 days after the date of the Board meeting.    The Board meets every month, either via Zoom or in-person.    The meeting is usually on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm.    The meeting is open to congregants to observe. Congregational members who want to present items to the Board must notify CVUU Board President David Kidd prior to the meeting, so they can be included on the agenda.   The following is a synopsis of pertinent items.   The next Board meeting will be November 16, 2023
