Master Planning Committee Survey

Here is your first opportunity to help!
We would like to hear from the friends and members of First Church about what areas you think need attention. Although we might not be able to include everything in our planning, we want to hear what you are thinking about. For your convenience, we have developed a survey that you will also find in this month's Herald. As you complete the survey, don't be constrained by the space of each section. Feel free to use the back of the survey or add another page if necessary. To complete the survey, print it out, and either drop it in the envelope on the office door or mail it back to the church by April 15, 2007, at:

The First Church in Salem, Unitarian
Master Planning Committee
316 Essex Street
