Keepers of names, Publishers of Ye Wow Books, Welcome visitors, plan Wow dinners, prepare for New Member Ceremonies, and help integrate new members into the congregation.

Promotes and tracks circle groups, helps newcomers find a neighborhood group to join.The idea is to get together regularly, ideally once a month, for a potluck dinner in someone's home, to get to know each other better, learn from each other, make new friends, and improve communication and cooperation among SCUU members and friends. The groups are intended to stay together for a year, at least, and then in September, hosts are asked if they would like to continue for another year, and new hosts are solicited. This gives everyone an opportunity to join a different group and make more new friends. If you like, you may be a member of more than one group at the same time. Current Circle groups and their meeting place, members, and contact person, always available, either at the greeters table, or from the Coordinator. There is always room in an existing group for a new member or family; also, sometimes newcomers will form a new Circle Dinner Group. When in Doubt attend a WOW Dinner.

 
Este Armstrong and Kathleen Walker, have regular meetings with Rev. Amy Russell for consultation, collaboration and advice.
