Email Scam Alert

If you receive an email inviting you to a special event and asking you to click a link to view the invite or view the card, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. The invite will probably come from an email address you recognize, belonging to another person at the Fellowship who fell victim to the scam. Please delete the email and inform Cameron at comms@uucorvallis.org that you were targeted.

2025-26 Services Auction Feedback Request

In 2026, for the first time, the Services Auction was held off-campus. This was an experiment, and we ask for feedback using the linked form https://forms.gle/XerdBHzwPQmj2MZ2A to share their views on the Scout Lodge and their preferences with respect to hosting future auctions at UUFC, the Scout Lodge, or, potentially, other off-campus sites. Responses will be used by the fundraising team in making its recommendation to the Finance Council and Board on the venue for future Auctions.

If more than one adult in your household attended the Auction at the Scout Lodge, please ask them to also complete the form https://forms.gle/XerdBHzwPQmj2MZ2A.

Questions: Michael Hughes treasurer@uucorvallis.org.
