genties & ladlemen,

some of you may have heard that that den of passion, that collection of countries called the Ewe Ess Eh is having another election to determine WHO WILL BE THE NEXT RESIDENT OF THE EWE ESS EH (cue reverb).

In the Ewe Ess Eh, their elections are spectacles, are a participatory sport where people get their passion on and out to show to everyone.

WOOT!

And the candidates!  They read like slash fiction

 For all members and treasurers that were asking, the Pension Calculator has been fixed, although it has not incorporated the changes coming in January 2013 yet.

The best information about how the upcoming changes will affect your pension benefits at retirement will be the Pension Statement, due to be sent to Active Members in June.

Benefits will not change for members currently recieving a pension benefit (retired members of the United Church's pension plan).

Hello all!

This message is for Treasurers and Administrators in pastoral charges, ministry sites & presbytery roles across the denomination: the Budgeting Tools for Treasurers 2012 is currently available on the Church Leadership Network. 

It will be posted shortly on the main United Church site (www.united-church.ca; search "Budgeting Tools" but that may take up to a week. Since we've been getting calls already looking for this information, I wanted to spread the word as widely as possible.
