GC responded by (1) proposing to sell 815 (There, that'll learn ya!) and (2) forming it's own Task Force for Restructuring / Revision. <br /><br />Makes the heart sad - and, very, very angry.

During the six years I served on the UTO Committee, we did extensive study on governance and operation, kept by-laws and procedures up to date, the Committee got legal counsel; the president (me)met with INC of Executive Council; and there were numerous discussions with the presiding bishop, the COO, the task force, discussions and resolutions at Triennial Meeting 2009 and others. There has not been any wrongdoing on the part of the UTO Committee/Board. Women started this ministry, built the Memorial and Gift Trust Fund to cover expenses and work very hard to grow UTO in order to provide for grants. UTO should continue to be administered by lay women who encourage everyone to be involved in giving and thankfulness.<br />Regina D.

I love the sound of those coins, but I don't like the sound of this press release. <br /><br />Now, let's see if I can navigate the hieroglyphics that are required to post on your blog. :-( Lisa Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881671380217888810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-45285330722929992532013-09-04T11:42:48.332-04:002013-09-04T11:42:48.332-04:00Very overt power grab by the sound of itVery overt power grab by the sound of itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-85511317681917668242013-09-04T10:23:47.823-04:002013-09-04T10:23:47.823-04:00OK, yes, I will await the "real" story b...OK, yes, I will await the "real" story behind this, as I'm sure there is one.<br /><br />Gretchen R.
