Unity on the Avenue is a warm, welcoming community that has allowed me to grow spiritually while connecting with like-minded people. It is a place where I feel supported, inspired, and encouraged on my spiritual journey.

At the same time, every thriving spiritual community depends on people who are willing to take care of the practical details that keep everything running smoothly. From day-to-day challenges to long-term planning, many "nuts and bolts" issues require thoughtful attention. A strong, dedicated Board of Trustees helps ensure that our spiritual center remains healthy, stable, and able to fulfill its mission.

It is my hope that I can bring my experience and practical perspective to the Board, helping to keep Unity on the Avenue on an even keel so our community can continue to grow and thrive for years to come.

 

Ellen Yu, Secretary

Ellen joined UOTA two years ago, and serves on the Welcome Team, the Outreach Team and the Green Team. When there was a call to serve on the Board to complete the term of a member needing to retire, Ellen stepped into that role.
After retiring from a 27-year career developing sales software for ING Financial Services, Ellen continues to serve by volunteering with AARP to prepare income tax returns and helping seniors with money management through the Senior Resource Center. She has served on the board of tennis organizations and continues to manage and play in tennis leagues. She enjoys reading history, cozy British mysteries, and maintains lifelong learning through OLLI courses. Ellen has two grown children, a granddaughter, and a little rescued dog named Rafa.
 

Donilyn Watley, Vice PresidentDonilyn Photo

I am a native of Colorado. I remember the sugar beet fields out by Brighton and the wide open prairies just past Peoria. 
I was raised in the Lutheran church but my Church was out in nature. From City Park to Estes Park and all along the front range, I found connection and beauty in Spirit. 
I am a retired Licensed Practical Nurse and did mostly private duty through out my career. 
My clients were the ones dependent on machines and thier caregiver. My work was also my church. I sang,and made them laugh while I took good care of thiers bodies so thier soul could take care of itself in faith and trust.

When I found Unity on the Avenue 5 years ago, it was the chaplins that drew me in. I knew I had found a safe place to be healed, grow,and connect more completely with Divine Spirit and Beloved community. I feel being on the board for Unity on the Avenue is the right place for me to give, help grow and inspire our congregation to our next highest good.  
I am full of gratitude for this opportunity to serve.
Blessings 
And Thank you 

Penny Ware, Keeper of the Flame
