Palomar UU Fellowship is a Plate Share congregation, donating 50% of undesignated offerings collected each Sunday to a local charitable cause.
Because we want our contribution to be impactful, the Executive Board will designate one charitable cause to receive the Plate Share contribution each quarter. In order to be good stewards of the congregational offerings and ensure that contributions reflect the values of the membership, the Executive Board solicits Plate Share Nominations from the membership for the Plate Share contribution.
Guidelines:
• Any Palomar UU Fellowship member or youth member may submit a maximum of one nomination per quarter. Palomar Fellowship youth who are not members may submit a nomination with member sponsorship.
• The nomination may be for any local (within San Diego County, preferably north San Diego County) charitable social service, environmental, health, or social justice cause.
• The nomination may not be for a political candidate.
• A charitable cause may receive the Plate Share contribution a maximum of once annually.
Procedure:
Step 1. Please send an email requesting a Plate Share Nomination Form to Cristina Mendez or ask Cristina for a printed copy.
Step 2. Complete the Plate Share Nomination Form and email it back to: Cristina Mendez or by placing it in Cristina’s mailbox at the Fellowship. Please type or print legibly.
Members may submit a maximum of one nomination per quarter. Nominations can be submitted at any time. The Executive Board will make the selection for the next quarter from all nominations in their possession at the last meeting before that quarter begins, i.e., at the Board meetings held in September, December, March, and June.
NOTE: Nominations will not be retained, returned, or considered in a later quarter, unless they are resubmitted for consideration.
