Maureen Lundell, Vice President
The search for a liberal, progressive church with great children's religious education led Maureen to River of Grass 17 years ago. Maureen, her husband, Brit and their four children have enjoyed many, many great classes, events and services at River of Grass - both in real life and online at this point.
Maureen has co-chaired Membership, Caring and Worship Committees and has volunteered on Facilities, Capital Campaign, Auction, New Home Team, Annual Budget Drive, Reflections newsletter, internal financial review, and anything related to a/v, decorating or food preparation.
A Registered Dietitian, Maureen has worked in food service and clinical dietetics for hospitals and long term care facilities, as well as for the Broward School District in the Health Education Department. As a UU, Maureen believes that River of Grass provides nourishment for minds and souls with all that the congregation offers.

Geri Mikulski, Secretary
Geri Mikulski is a white-skinned, increasingly gray haired, cis-gender woman, pronouns she/her/hers, who has been a UU for over 30 years. She was delighted to be asked a question at the end of her first thought provoking UU service, led by Rev. Kit Howell (may he rest in peace), instead of being told the answer, as she had expected from her Catholic childhood. Since that first question, the UU community has enabled her to ask better and better questions, and provided a supportive community where we seek answers together! She found a religious community for her four children, who all attended OWL, and were eventually sent forth to be adults asking good questions. Now retired from both her brief career as a mechanical engineer, and her longer career as a high school math teacher, she has more time to learn at the River of Grass UU Congregation than ever before!
Geri has been on the Worship Committee, the Religious Education Committee, and the Hospitality team, and taught many children’s faith development classes. Her favorite services are the 3rd Sunday Intergenerational services, where we all get up out of our chairs! She is currently chair of Hospitality, so see her if you would like to contribute to our social time after service, when we are meeting in person. She brings a current interest in mental health peer support groups, and appreciation for all the support of this beloved community.
