We are now accepting Live Auction and Intermission Items, Events, and Services. We are accepting food donations for the Italian lunch as well.
For the Live Auction Items
For Live Auction items we need donations of the following:
-Hosted meals
-Sporting event tickets
-Music tickets (concert or symphony)
-Art gallery tickets
-Expensive digital devices
-Fine art or high-quality artisan items, and more!
A good indicator if an event or item is a good match for the Live Auction is if it can generate at least $75.
For the Intermission Items
For the Intermission Items, we need events with a set price that multiple people (at least 8-10+) can attend. The set price is usually $10 - $20.
Event Ideas:
-A Movie & Popcorn Night at GNUUC
-Hosting a Local Tour
-Hosting a Congregation Birthday Party
-Hosting a Park Picnic
For the artists out there, if you can create multiple items (at least 8-10+), all at a single set price of $10 - $20, they are a good fit as intermission items. They do not need to be unique but do need to be in the same genre. (Think Sandy’s birds from last year.)
Artisan Ideas:
-A set of paintings based on a theme
-A set of sculptures that fit in the same genre.
-All items are at a set price.
No Silent Auction
Remember - no silent auction items this year!
Italian Lunch

The treasurer presented the finance report, noting pledge income may come in lower than budgeted. Insurance and asphalt repairs have increased expenses significantly. Getting additional asphalt repair quotes was discussed.
Discussing the congregation's 30th anniversary coming up in 2024, suggestions included celebrating with a special pledge drive theme highlighting the past 30 years and vision for the next 30. A homecoming event in the fall was also proposed.
The Board conducted a self-assessment. The facilitator closed by thanking the Board for their self-reflection.
Continued progress on visioning the future and sustainability goals will help ensure GNUUC's next 30 years are as strong as the past 30 have been.
Please email board@gnuuc.org if you have any questions or suggestions.
