MERGER UPDATES

Week of June 1st:

We are excited to announce the names of the people who volunteered for the Transition Team. They are Kevin Holt, Doreen Lopez, Dennis Healy, Daune Sebastian, Tom Aitken in a consultant role for finances within the merger, and Ken Langevin.
Starting this week and through the month of June, we are looking for your considerations for a combined name with Salem UCC. There will be a basket with slips of paper located in the Narthex. We look forward to hearing all of your ideas! Reach out to Kevin or a member of Council with any questions.

Week of June 8th:

We are still looking for your considerations for a combined name with Salem UCC. These slips of paper and the basket will be located in the Narthex until June 29th. We look forward to hearing your ideas, and thank you to those who contributed so far!
On June 9th, we completed a walkthrough of the parsonage. At a later date, we will be notifying the tenant as we have more information on how we will proceed with the property about the merger.

Week of June 15th:

We are still looking for your considerations for a combined name with Salem UCC. These slips of paper and the basket will be located in the Narthex until June 29th. We look forward to hearing your ideas, and thank you to those who contributed so far!
We also reached out to a name for legal counsel as we navigate this process a few days ago. We haven’t heard back but will keep you posted.

Week of June 22nd:

Sunday, June 29th is the last day for providing your suggestions for a combined name with Salem UCC. Thanks for all of the ideas so far, and last call for any others!
We did reach out to legal counsel last week. While that one name didn’t work, we are exploring some other options on that in the days/weeks to come.
Wednesday, June 25th is/was our first meeting with our transition team we approved at our June 1st congregational meeting. Their purpose is to help with assisting with some preliminary merger tasks that have been created by the council (this list may grow in time, as we will discover more ideas for things to take care of). If you have insight for this group, please talk to Kevin Holt, Doreen Lopez, Dennis Healy, Daune Sebastian, Ken Langevin, or Tom Aitken.
Finally, we will have an easel out in the Narthex for people to write down any insight/thoughts/questions for the merger they have. We will look at those questions, and plan to answer them via Mailchimp later that week. If you have any questions about this, please talk to Kevin Holt.
