BUUF Board Member Diane Gibbons has been working with Sandy Walker, Harvey Johnson and others to review the necessary steps to have our Green Sanctuary Candidate status advanced to Green Sanctuary Certified. Based on her review, it appears we have largely accomplished the primarily pillars of our plan and now need to gather documentation to share with the UUA.
If you are interested in promoting BUUF’s status as a Green Sanctuary and continuing progress on initiatives like the children’s garden, please join Diane Gibbons and other members of the Green Sanctuary Team for a meeting on Sunday, January 19th, following the service. All interested BUUFers, including newcomers, are invited to attend.
