Good Friday

I am not Jewish but I have respect and admiration for all my Jewish friends. I have fasted on the Jewish fast day many years just to align myself with my friends. I certainly understand the UCO office being closed during the holy days in September.

I do not want to be critical because I know how hard the people in the UCO office work to make life easier for the rest of us in the village.

I am somewhat surprised that today on Good Friday, the holiest day of the year in the Christian calendar, the UCO office is open. I would like to ask that UCO reconsider their policy for future years because not only is the office open, it is open during the most holy hours of the day. Noon to 3 is the time that many Christians go to their churches and remember the reason that they believe.
