Mary Parsons:
Many Years of Dedicated Service

Mary Parsons celebrates her retirement from managing the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House of Chatham Thrift Shop after four years of managing the shop and her active participation since its beginning about 30 years ago.
Under Mary Parson’s leadership, the seasonal all-volunteer shop thrived. Mary and her team were celebrating another successful year when the shop had to shut down unexpectedly for the season after a recent storm flooded the Meeting House basement.
Mary’s assistant manager, Pam Ebeling, will take her place next year, and Mary plans to continue participating. The UU Meeting House of Chatham Thrift Shop, also known as the "Bearly Used Thrift Shop" because the mascot is a bear, helps to support recycling efforts, offer quality items at bargain prices, sponsor programs at the UU Meeting House of Chatham, and develop community spirit. The shop’s team of 28 volunteers and the UUMH congregation deeply appreciate Mary’s years of dedicated service.
