UUP Administrative Assistant Resigning Her Post

I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone in this community for your support and kind wishes. As was announced in church a few weeks ago, I'll be leaving the position of Administrative Assistant on July 1. I'll continue to be a member of this group and to attend services in the future.

The Board may make some changes to the job description between now and then, but if you think you or someone you know would be interested in applying for this position I'd be happy to speak with you about the kind of work it entails. A more official announcement is sure to follow in the weeks to come. In the meantime, I can be reached at uupetaulma at gmail.com.

Thanks again,
Adee Swanson
