News & Announcements

Prairie held a Parish meeting Sunday, July 17. Kate Liu was elected treasure, the congregation voted to submit the application for Green Sanctuary candidacy to the UUA, and Al Nettleton updated the congregation on the progress of the Minister Search committee.

Housing & Property has scheduled our next Work Day for Saturday, July 23, at 9:00am. We would like to paint the outside doors and the upstairs bathrooms. A few people have confirmed to attend, but more are welcome! Please let Dirk Herr-Hoyman know if you can pitch in.

PRAIRIE ELDERS MEETING: Tuesday, July 26 at 1:30 pm. We begin with a “round robin” for all who wish to share personal news. Topic discussion from 2:00 to 3:20. Site: Community Room in The Oaks, Oakwood Village West. Call contacts for directions, parking or a ride. If convenient, bring your own beverage cup and a few snacks. Newcomers welcome. TOPIC: What do you wish you had been taught in high school? This topic has potential for fascinating comments about subjects you chose not to take, information not available to teachers at the time, interests you developed later or topics perhaps acceptable today but risky years ago. One never knows what direction a personal interest topic will take us. Come share your reminiscences or just enjoy listening. ABOUT US: Prairie Elders aims to provide good times and mutual support for Prairie UU Members and Friends over 65 and UUs living at the facility where we meet. Our “round robin” format makes it easier to hear and gives all the option of speaking. Topics alternate between general issues and personal interests. Contacts: Donna Murdoch 238-3802, Gordon Cunningham 230-3367, Rosemary Dorney 238-4382 or Rose Smith 233-3363. Call Donna to add your name to the mailing list.

The Humanist Union's next meeting will be on Sunday Aug. 7. We'll start with a potluck lunch at 11:45 am followed by a program, 12:30 - 1:30 pm, on Robert Green Ingersoll (1833 - 1899).
