Selections from the BFUU By-Laws
PRIVILEGES OF MEMBERSHIP: An Adult Member may chair a committee; serve as a Board Member; receive publications of the Pacific Central District, the Unitarian Universalist Association, and the Fellowship; members may, on a yearly basis and dependent on availability and based on current policy have free use of the Fellowship facilities for personal celebrations, weddings, memorials and child dedications; members may be listed in the Fellowship Directory. After 30 days of membership, Adult Members are entitled to vote at congregational meetings.
FRIEND, AN ALTERNATE TO MEMBERSHIP: An individual may choose to be a Friend to the Fellowship and rather than making a financial pledge of record, donate financially as he or she chooses. Friends are not counted for the Fellowship’s fair share financial contributions to the Pacific Central District and Unitarian Universalist Association, and do not receive their publications. A Friend may serve as committee member, be listed in the Fellowship Directory and receive Fellowship publications. A Friend is not entitled to vote at congregational meetings.

*A Member may request an exception to pledging a **fair share amount, or to maintaining the level of a pledge already made, by contacting a Board Member to have the situation considered in confidence on a case-by-case basis. (You may just complete the Pledge Reduction or Waiver Form and email to board@bfuu.org)

No one is turned away solely for lack of funds.

**Fair Share Pledge = $89/year;
Gross Income Suggested Giving:
Full Tithe =10% per year; Visionary = 5%-6% per year;
Sustainer = 2.5%-5%; Supporter = 2%-3.5%
