On April 13th, 2024 the membership of Greater Lake Michigan Urantia Association held their annual Spring Membership Meeting, Luncheon, and Study Event in-person and via Zoom Meeting. During the business meeting, nominations were opened up to the floor for all paid members in good standing for the the offices of President and Treasurer. GLMUA members present accepted by acclamation the only nomination received for the office of President, Bob Solone. In the absence of any nomination for the office of Treasurer, Tamara Strumfeld graciously accepted the appointment to serve as GLMUA Treasurer for an additional term. In addition, Alice Wood was appointed as Communications Chair, having fully trained over the past six months, gaining valuable experience.
After lunch, in-person attendees – Ken Keyser, Tamara Strumfeld, Jay Peregrine, Dr. Tom Sadler, Bob Solone, Alice Wood, Rick Lyon, and Paul Anderson – participated in a lovely remembrance supper and communion together with online viewers who attended throughout the day for the business meeting, lunch, and topical study of Paper 119 prepared by Dr. Tom Sadler – Barbara Newsom, Mark Kurtz, Belen and Eugene Asidao, Ilunga Adell, Robert Arkens, Janet Guaderrama, Julia Kelly Smith, and Susan Lyon.
We would like to extend a special thank you to the outgoing GLMUA President, Alice Wood, for her faithful service during the past two terms in office, as well as her innovative and creative ideas to make GLMUA an even more effective local association and network for connecting the community.
Alice has been involved in serving the revelation through other important means, such as through her personal short videos, her leadership in education with the Urantia University efforts, and being personally involved with two extremely well-received programs, the Growing Together events and the Moonlight Worship sessions featuring talented Urantia musicians leading worship during the fall and winter months. Alice will be continuing her service for GLMUA by accepting the nomination for appointment as Communications Chair, and has completed the training required to maintain the GLMUA website and assume the duties effective immediately. Alice will also continue to help with the Membership process in assuring a continued smooth onboarding process for new members.
