Be a part of UUFF’s longtime biggest fundraiser! Get to meet other UUs from all around the United States! Whale Coast Alaska will host 32-34 guests this year from July 9-11.  We need lodging for 14 singles and 11 couples. (Half of these will arrive a day early and therefore require four nights lodging). This is a great way to support our fellowship. By providing lodging and some meals, UUFF and other UU fellowships in Alaska receive the funds these travelers would otherwise spend in hotels and restaurants during their Alaska visit.  Read on for more opportunities to be a part of the Whale Coast fun

This very simple, but very important weekly task needs a new volunteer. We need someone to water the indoor plants and perform the minor maintenance necessary to keep our sanctuary and foyer
adorned with healthy green, living plants. The plants need weekly watering and occasional trimming of dead leaves. Sharing is fine too — find another UUFFer who can alternate Sundays with you or just add to the fun. If you are interested, please contact Anna Plager or Suzanne Osborn, who helps with this task.

COMMITTEE CHAIR NEEDED FOR BUILDING INTERIOR: Anna Plager will step down as Interiors Committee Chair at the end of December 2009. There is a 2-page activity guide for the Interiors Committee that can be used or revised by the incoming committee chair. Read More »

Green Sanctuary resumes. That’s re-zooms, not reh-zoo-mays, in case you were wondering.  With the upcoming world-wide attention on October 24th, 350 Day (see www.350.org), it reminds us that we have no time to waste.  The Green Sanctuary Committee will reconvene for their first meeting of the season on Thursday, October 29th, at Gulliver’s Second Story Cafe back room at 11:30 AM.  We welcome new, interested planet-lovers to join us for a strategy-storming session on how to kick-off our UUFF efforts this winter.
