New Homes for Garden Tools
Now that we have made the decision to sell 25 Old Jackson Ave, the time has come to empty the garden shed. We have no way of knowing what FUSW's future will bring in terms of gardens or land to take care for, but we do need to take care of our tools now. We are in need of folks willing to pick up and store (and use!) our garden tools. There are rakes, shovels, and many other items. If you are able to help out with storage, or are interested in some garden tools, please contact Nancy Eisenman (nbeisenman@aol.com)

Recommended: the UU Denominational House in Chautauqua
Connie Kehoe & Kevin Weber pass along their recommendation for a stay at the UU Denominational House and while there to experience the summer programs, performances, and activities at the historic Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, NY. Connie and Kevin have rented at the UUDH for several years, and will be staying there during Week 4 of 2022. They note that the residence is small and fills up quickly (Week 4 is already full), and that offerings at the Chautauqua Institution are expensive, but for them the cost is well worth it. UU services led by visiting ministers are held on the grounds each Sunday. Another option for lodging (that Connie and Kevin have not yet tried) is Quaker House.

FUSW Contacts & Information
Questions, Concerns, or Compliments for FUSW? Reach out to any member of our Board of Trustees, fusw.org/board-of-trustees (place cursor over picture, then right-mouse click to copy email).
The Board of Trustees usually meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Meetings begin at 7:30pm. We are currently meeting online. Meetings are open to any member of FUSW. If the Board enters into executive session to discuss personnel or confidential matters, non-Board will be asked to leave for that portion of the meeting. At the end of the meeting there will be an open forum, moderated by the President, during which non-Board members can speak about topics of concern. We ask that you limit your remarks to two minutes. This forum will last from five to ten minutes, depending on the Board agenda. Please contact any Board member if you have questions or comments. To access the minutes from previous meetings, visit the Members page of fusw.org and click on Board Minutes Archive. Click here to join our meeting on Zoom.
