New Building Concept

First Post - Pre Construction

First Post! Sorry, all I've got right now is what I just sent in for the June/July/August newsletter. This should bring you up to date.

Ah, summer! I so love the spring, but not the allergies that have kept me from operating full throttle lately. Whew. I’m back, and our wonderful construction team has continued to be on top of things. While we didn't get a full cost proposal in our hands in time for the UUFF Annual Meeting, it should be here shortly for our Board to review. Our architect has finished the necessary drawings and the subcontractors are putting together their bids. Our engineer will be presenting our completed Site Plan to Stafford County this summer, and we will be ready to immediately submit a building permit to the county when that is approved. When it all falls into place, we will be moving dirt before you know it. (Still shooting for Oct.)

Since I know we don't have a newsletter in the summer, and eventually I know that this maybe be a good way to communicate more efficiently, I have started a blog site: http://uuffnewbuilding.blogspot.com/. Don't expect daily updates, or really very many updates this summer, but I will post as appropriate. As the info increases with the beginning of construction later in the year, the posts will increase accordingly. If you’re not computer savvy, I know there are lots of people in our Fellowship who would be willing to help you keep up to date in a way that suits you. Just ask.

I'm excited about our beginnings of visibility at our new home site: the sign and flower box and plants that our hardworking Buildings and Grounds team has created on our land. Thanks especially to Heather, Paul, Don and Lara! Our visibility at our new location is beginning and the energies are shifting! Help us create more positive energy towards our vision of a new place for UUFF to flourish. Be ready to contribute should you be called upon, as we will be tapping more and more into expertise in our ranks. Stay tuned and Have a great summer!
