Friday, December 18, the maple tree got moved from between our two existing buildings to the front of the Children's House. It is to memorialize Bill and Jesse Ross. We had to drench the roots for three days to help it acclimate to its new environment. Now we have to take care of it for the next couple of years to see if the transplant is a success. Each week we will need to water it, and as soon as possible, trim the canopy.

I was wondering why Doris had the hose hooked up and the water on in the freezing temps on Sunday. I forgot that the tree was moved, and even though it is winter, it needs care even in its dormant state.
The Gathering Place
Progress Report
January 14, 2010
The forms surrounding the 10-inch reinforced concrete walls of what will eventually be the Garden Level of UUFE’s new, The Gathering Place, were removed yesterday morning by the construction crew. Steam was impressively streaming skyward from the newly exposed walls which now rise out of the “hole” above street level. There’s no denying it, growth at UUFE is manifest.
Speaking of growth, here is some more exciting news. Reverend Amy, along with Greg Kohler and other e-contributors have just launched a new UUFE blog, under the banner of: HERE WE GROW! You can check it out by going to: www.uuelkhart.blogspot.com or going to www.uufe.org Web site and clicking on the white box under the, Latest News...,header on the home page.
Here’s one more important piece of information for putting on your January calendar. Something brand new for our congregation, we will have our first, UUFE Town Hall Meeting, on Sunday, January 24, beginning at noon, after the regularly scheduled service. As you might imagine, the first UUFE Town Hall meeting will be focused solely on The Gathering Place, including the present status of its progress, updates and other pertinent information from Shari Mellin, Building Committee Chair, who will be conducting the meeting. The intent of the meeting will be for the open exchange of giving and sharing information on the various positive aspects currently unfolding with the construction of The Gathering Place. This, as part of an ongoing communications process, will hopefully keep all concerned participants in UUFE life in the know and to serve as a further measure in avoiding any potential misinformation regarding The Gathering Place. In typical town hall meeting style, there will also be a portion of time for questions and answers.
As more information is available about the building progress, it will appear in Ron Gill’s UUFE Update, email, and will continue to be published monthly in the Fellowship Focus, and now, for the whole word to see and read, the UUFE blog: HERE WE GROW!
Building Committee Communicator,
