May 2, 2010 Wayne Johnson Memorial and Butterfly Garden Dedication
After Sunday Service, brunch was served to family and friends who then gathered near a small plot of land that was dedicated in loving memory to Wayne Johnson. Wayne enriched all of our lives with his generosity of spirit and courage of heart. Many of his friends shared stories of happy times that were spent with Wayne. There is a memorial bench for visitors to sit and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

UU ALLIANCE
If you haven't been to an Alliance meeting recently or read the
UU Minutes
you may be pleasantly surprised at all the folks are doing!
To give you a small sampling, take a look at their suggested activities for the coming year: all but one are currently being supported.
UU Alliance suggested projects:
Halifax Urban Ministry (HUM), Second Harvest, Habitat for Humanity, and Caring Through Sharing. Our UU supports HUM on a weekly basis and serves at the STAR center once a month. We donated to Second Harvest earlier this year, and have supported Habitat for Humanity, and Caring Through Sharing. This organization is Ormond Beach based, offering food to people that don't qualify for food stamps, but are in desperate need to feed their families. In addition to the Alliance's current support for Caring Through Sharing, the Alliance has adopted one family to give a box of food to each month.
Perhaps we'll see you at a future meeting. Alliance meets at noon, every second Thursday of the month. No Meetings during the summer. Jeanne Young is the Chairperson.
