Unitarian Universalist Fellowship 
Circle Coordinators
There’s been quite a bit of talk lately about your Circle
Coordinators — and quite a few questions about who we
are and what role we play in the Fellowship.
To put it simply, we are the ones who help you get
done what this Fellowship wants or needs to get done.
Think of it this way: if the Board focuses on direction and
strategy (along with congregational votes, when appropriate,
of course), the Circles and its members focus on
implementation.
A description of the five circles and the groups or committees that belong within each circle can be found under Groups.
Biographies
Jan Clarke, Pathways Circle
Jan has been a member of UUFSLOC since 2005 when she moved back to San Luis Obispo. (She graduated from SLOHS in 1960.) She spent the previous 25 years in Paso Robles as an active member of St. James Episcopal Church. She was a stay-at-home mom, a bookkeeper, and a volunteer in numerous organizations. She has been widowed since 1994. She and her husband, Bill, had three children, David (Lori) a mobility mechanic and salesman from Santa Margarita, Steve (Melissa) an attorney in Des Moines, and Cathy (Jim Kerman) a Physical Therapist in La Crescenta. She also has eight grandchildren. She serves as a Greeter and a volunteer for Joys, Sorrows, and Concerns on Sunday mornings. Jan is also active in Ladies of the Evening, the Women's Retreat, Circle Suppers, Lit Wits, and sometimes the Women's Discussion Group. She says, "I am so grateful to be able to call UU home. It fills me with joy to be part of this congregation, to learn, to share, and to grow together."
