Regina Hutchison is the major source of inspiration for our Welcome Team, which is such a vital part of hospitality and membership! A newcomer’s first impression of our unique, accepting, welcoming atmosphere is made from the interactions initiated by our Welcome Team. Regina’s enthusiasm spreads to the team, who bring energy and love to our foyer on Sunday mornings.
Regina organizes each month’s schedule well ahead of time. “For newcomers, the first impression is critical,” said Regina. “We want our inclusive and welcoming nature to shine. It’s also important to gather contact information for follow up, and make sure that new folks are truly welcomed and feel wanted. We strive to spend time with new-comers. We also want to make sure friends and members feel special as these folks are the lifeblood of our Fellowship, and [that] we love them. It’s a real joy to share our UU hospitality with everyone who comes through our doors.”
Regina’s team includes Rhoda Apfelbeck, Liz Snively, Sally Vice, Patricia Thompson, Ann Talley, Helen Struve, Joe Robustelli, Becky Reid, Susan Maybin, Charlie Mitchell, Peggy Law, Wanda Hughes, Mary Highberger, Judith Heartwell, Susan Harris, Aubrey Harris, Robin Grainger, Donn Swift, Donna Gatnarek, Reba Furches, Liz Curtis, Charlotte Corrigan, Harry Corrigan, Jack Caldwell, Patricia Caldwell, and Anne Backer.
To Regina, and to all the team, we offer our gratitude.
