TGIF Hosts Needed
Hosts are needed for our Summertime TGIF's.
Our "Thank Goodness It's Friday" POTLUCK social gatherings are a popular way of deepening our UU Community. All are welcome to come, even if they cannot always bring a dish to share. The hosts put out a basket for donations to help defray costs.
Hosting involves opening your home, back yard (or the Fellowship) from 5-7 PM, on Friday evening; providing wine, soda and water, plates, cups and napkins. The guests bring the rest.
Please call Jan Taylor at 332-4489, to host (or co-host) one of our community's well-loved TGIF's.

Flower People Needed
Our Flower People are looking for a few new members. Bringing flowers for Sunday Service is a lovely privilege that we honor. It involves a commitment of one Sunday every few weeks to bring flowers and set them up in the front of the church by 9:30 and remove after.
If this appeals to you please call, Linda Monk 831-724-4089
