Important votes on the UUCT horizon!

The Board approved several items:
- The proposed Final Budget. The 2022 Canvass provided pledges of $226,000; the approved Final Budget, to be voted on by the Congregation, is $312,444. The difference is made up primarily with surplus carried forward, endowment monies, and a tax credit.
