Cluster Seeking Co-chairs
Byron Peterson, a member of the Prairie Vista UU Congregation in Scottsbluff, has served as chair for several years and is seeking two co-chairs to help design and implement cluster programs. This is not a heavy-duty job, with only three or four meetings a year, and it offers leaders a chance to get acquainted with members of other congregations and to expand religious horizons. Most of the planning is done by e-mail, and the cluster is not formally organized with dues and bylaws. If you are available and interested, please contact Byron, bpete37@gmail.com.
