 URANTIA ASSOCIATION UNITED STATES ELECTION 2009
RESULTS REPORT by BENET RUTENBERG.
Distinguished Members of Urantia Association of United States Council of Local Presidents,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the results of UAUS 2009 Election. We thank each member who voted in affirmation of the two GB Offices up for election this year. All votes received were in affirmation.
Please welcome David Linthicum as your new UAUS President and Daryl Berry as your UAUS Treasurer continuing in his second term.The new Governing Board will be announcing roll call, upcoming events, conference calls with UAUS Locals and our 2009 UAUS CLP Meeting in Chicago at Urantia Foundation this September. Expect to
receive these announcements in the coming days and weeks. The minutes from the March 19, 2009 GB Conference Call are being proofed currently and will be posted as soon as they are approved.
In response to the request and discussion from the UAUS CLP Meeting held last summer in Kansas, the UAUS GB has voted unanimously to include all Officers of our UAUS Local Associations on the UAUS
List. This will take effect as soon as the roll call is complete and all officers have been updated.
Leadership is a tremendous responsibility in UAI and UAUS supports all efforts for its development. We ask all those ready and those who may not think they are ready to step up. The dissemination of these Teachings, the fostering of thousands of study groups and the development of teachers and leaders remains the call to service in this current age of spiritual progress. There is more going on within our movement and the spiritual economy of the planet that any of us realize. Few of us think we can and then we do.
In closing, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and profound gratitude to all currently serving in UAUS: Marian Hughes, VP; Patti Snyder, Secretary; Daryl Berry, Treasurer; Rick Lyon, Publications; Michael Berry, Membership and Study Groups; Scott Brooks, Web Design and Support. There are many positions to fill and much work to do. These folks have and continue to pour their efforts into service for
UAUS and UAI. Please take time to thank them and ask questions. And congratulations to David and Daryl for their willingness to serve and proven ability to successfully accomplish the work.

Second Mile and Beyond
BOULDER, COLORADO
JUNE 25-28
You are warmly welcomed to the beautiful and progressive city of Boulder, a community which may well have the highest per-capita concentration of Urantia Book readers in the world. The picturesque university campus, nestled beneath the breathtaking Rockies, will provide an ideal setting for this conclave of friendly souls from far and wide.
Although the plan for this conference was sparked by a few younger-generation readers, there are
readers of all ages contributing their time, talents, and experiential wisdom to the program and the
planning. As it happens, this conference isn't officially sponsored by any organization, but it benefits from broad support and reflects the increasing spiritual unity in the readership.
People of all ages, walks of life, and familiarity with the book are encouraged to attend! If you are a
new reader or have never been to a conference―please come―you will be glad you did! A new explorer of the truth in the Urantia Book will find the program very appealing and 'newcomer-friendly'. The rock-bottom early registration price of $260 covers room, board & program and is meant to be as affordable as possible in this first-class facility.
The spirit of The Second Mile and Beyond is the call to the challenge of truly living second-mile lives every single day―beyond what we ever have before... much more info - click here...
Location: University of Colorado – Boulder
Cost: $260 early registration, $300 normal registration, includes the program, room, and meals.
Registration: ONLINE

UAUS LOGO
Urantia Association International has adopted an official logo for the national association. This logo is similar to the logo adopted by Urantia Association International and demonstrates our relationship within the UAI family of associations and with Urantia Foundation. Please note that whenever we use the concentric circles of Urantia Foundation the registered trademark symbol – the small circle R – must be included. For more information about use of the logo please request information from the UAI Central Office or refer to the UAI Style Guide.
MESSAGE from RICK LYON
UAI has no product to sell or source of income. Your contributions support everything we do. The more you contribute, the more we can do. We encourage everyone to set up some kind of automatic contribution payment because a small automatic payment will probably not be noticed much by you, when you give it, but automatic payments give us a consistent reliable source of funding that we can plan on when we produce the budget for the coming year. We can do great things with $10 a month or $1 a day - or the equivalent in other currencies.
If you or anyone needs help with setting this up. Please give me a call at 773-572-1180 in the USA and we will be glad to help you find the best way for you to contribute to our mission or explain what our needs are for funding. I have Skype, ricklyon135, so I can call you for next to nothing if you prefer.
