Email Submission Guidelines

Over the past few years UUCM has refined its email lists to better communicate with our members and pledging friends. To keep communications simple and informative, we have established two lines of communication: UUCM Weekly and UUCM Connect. Only the following representatives are authorized to send emails to these groups:
    • UUCM Webmaster ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )
    • Connect List Administrator ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )
    • Editor of Email Weekly ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )
    • UUCM Administrator ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

1. GROUP EMAILS: ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

This list consists of names and email addresses of UUCM members and pledging friends and is updated by the UUCM administrator as changes occur. To this end, please send all additions, changes and deletions to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , preferably by email.

We now distribute the group emails via UUCM's weekly e-blast -- your one-stop shop for UUCM announcements and activities. It is emailed to all list members each Thursday morning. If you want to submit an announcement for the weekly e-blast, the deadlines is 8 p.m. each Monday. Only members may submit items.

Visitors: Sign up to receive the weekly e-blast.

Our members agreed to have their names included in our group e-mail list trusting that it will be used only to keep them informed about the business and workings of UUCM. The information on the list is not be used for commercial purposes or private interests. Therefore, group emails shall be limited to the following:
    • Notices of UUCM-sponsored events, meetings or other activities which involve the entire congregation. (Refer any events outside UUCM to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .)
    • Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) or Pacific Central District (PCD) announcements of interest to the entire congregation.
    • Pastoral care concerns, such as weddings, births, illness, death notices or other personal information that is relevant to the congregation as a whole.
Additional submission guidelines for the weekly e-blast:
    • Submit articles in text only - one font.
    • Links to items outside UUCM must be provided.
    • Flyers for UUCM events should be sent to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 2 days before submitting the article to the Newsletter Editor. The Webmaster will pdf the flyer, put it online and give the Newsletter Editor the link.
    • Include basic event information: date, time, place and cost (who/what/when/where/why).
    • News items should be less than 100 words; articles less than 250 words. Note that columns may link to the web after 2 paragraphs.
    • The editor reserves the right to edit for length or content or postpone the article to the next week if it is not urgent.
Weekly Deadlines:
    • 15th of each month - Sunday services
    • 20th of each month - all staff columns and committees
    • 8 pm on Monday - activities and announcements

2. UUCM CONNECT E-MAILS: ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

UUCMers must sign up for this list by contacting the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . This list expands the very successful E-Ad email that is used for UUCM members who want to sell, give, buy or trade goods or services or make referrals. Since email addresses are voluntarily submitted, members are now free to use it to announce these outside activities in which they are involved, such as birding, hiking, theater and museum visits, etc. We urge you to sign up but use good judgment in using this list. We don’t send jokes or political opinions.

The UUCM Connect email will come out when there are items submitted, again attempting to combine them into one issue a week, rather than several throughout the week.
