*Get Ready for RUMMAGE SALE FEB: 23 setup, 24 & 25 SALE. Hours: 8 - 4 for Thurs setup, Sale 8-2 on Friday & Saturday. Please contact Cliff or sign up in the sanctuary if you can help. It is an opportunity for us to let go of "stuff" we do not need, and an opportunity for us to help each other, the society and the community. Our members delight in swapping stuff with the $$ going to the society. People from the community often say we have “THE BEST” church sale. It is one of the few fundraiser's that does not tap our members for more money. Please participate by donating, buying, and helping. We all make it a success! If you need help getting your things to the UU
building, call Cliff Jackson at (386) 677-7687 or email reelseeker@aol.com
Thank You Val Rellstab & Cliff Jackson 386- 677-7687

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.
