UUA Executive Vice President Kay Montgomery has already accepted our invitation to present our keynote address at this year's Annual Meeting. However, I have forwarded Dr. Szczurek's message to our District Annual Meeting Planning Committee for consideration as a workshop leader. You may contact Dr. Szczurek directly to explore a visit to your congregation or let me know if several congregations in any of our cluster areas within the District (Indiana, Ohio-Kentucky, or Michigan) would like help in arranging a cluster workshop with her.

Szczurek [mailto:tms at tmsworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 3:25 PM To: de at heartlanduu.org Subject: Speaking at your District Conference Dear Mary I am a long-time UU, who is currently active in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Boulder, Colorado (and previously in the UUF in Morristown, NJ.) I am writing to see if I can be of service to your UU district, as I will be traveling with my book tour in 2005 and could, as my schedule permits, do a keynote, workshop, and/or worship service at the Heartland District conference or another one of your district or congregational meetings. Who do I talk to about participating in this way? Or what do you recommend as the next step in investigating this? My presentations at the Mountain Desert District conference in October 2004 were very well received. See below for what my UU District president has to say about my passionate work. I know your membership would find value in my newest research/book "Pursuit of Passionate Purpose: Success Strategies for a Rewarding Personal and Business Life." Wisdom from 80 people from all walks of life, including a number of UUs, are combined into a practical guide to getting all that we want in life.... As Rev. William Sinkford says, UUs have a purpose of changing society. Especially in these challenging economic and political times, we need to be passionately empowered to take appropriate action. My work can help our members in this quest. I know because I have used it successfully in building a small non-profit into an endowed foundation, as an entrepreneur in taking my company from $0 to $40 million in six years, and in many other personal and professional pursuits. Here's what one UU leader has to say about it: "Anyone who has ever wondered how to reach a successful and balanced life will find Theresa's story and suggestions invaluable. A mother's spiritual heart is combined with a very successful record of education and business experience to provide tools for all involved in profit and nonprofit enterprises. I can only wish her book had been available 40 years ago when I was first looking for the balance between life and work. She doesn't offer an easy solution, but she does offer a realistic method for finding one." David H. Leonard, President Mountain Desert District Unitarian Universalist Association, Denver, CO ? There is a lot more information at my website: www.PursuitOfPassionatePurpose.com Or, perhaps you have other ideas of how I can be of service through LifeSpan, offering forums or Sunday services to your key congregations, or through other programs.

Online certification is open and ready for business! Please visit www.uua.org/congregation to submit your membership number that will entitle you to delegates at General Assembly 2005. The deadline for certification is February 1st, 2005. Last year 97% of our congregations certified their membership through our website, however only 60% of congregations submitted contact and statistical information for their congregation. This additional information is vital -- it is listed in the UUA Directory, used to provide services to your congregation at the district-level, and disseminated to those who want to learn more about Unitarian Universalism in your area and nationally. The additional information we are asking you to provide includes your congregation's address, contact, and statistical information (Pledging Units, RE Enrollment, Pledge Income, and Total Expenditures). When updating your statistical information, use the most current information you have or the most accurate estimate. In order to maintain the value of the printed UUA Directory, this year we are asking that you submit ALL aforementioned additional information for your congregation. If you need more information about the online certification process, please visit www.uua.org/congregation/faq.html. If you need technical help, please email congupdate at uua.org and reference your congregation's id number in the subject line. I receive these emails directly and will assist you promptly. Thank you for your cooperation. We are pleased to provide you with this service!
