A Thank You

Many thanks to GLAD for providing the scholarships from the Chuck Carpenter Leadership Development Fund to enable me and my partner, Mary Dyer, to attend Tapestry. It was a wonderful experience. I especially enjoyed connecting with people from around the country, and sharing stories and resources with UCCs and Baptists. I look forward to becoming more active in GLAD.

Thanks again.

Blessings,

Sheryl Butler
