Dear UUCSW,

Between attending a virtual conference and taking a week of study leave to re-center, February felt impossibly short. And I’m admittedly looking forward to more spring flowers and less black ice – I know mud season will come in the middle, that shift between phases and temperatures and more stable footholds...

Clarification: My apologies for the confusion around the Youth Group climbing trip; please note that we will be going to Central Rock Gym in Worcester on Sunday, March 6th from 1 - 3:30 PM. Please be in touch with me directly to RSVP.

Due to popular demand, I will be offering another animal tracking workshop! This will again be for all ages, not just families with RE-aged youth, and will run during the next Circle RE slot on Sunday, March 13th from 1 - 2:30 PM. Please RSVP; a reminder email will go out next week.

Circle RE will begin morning programming on Sunday, March 27th at the Unitarian Church of Marlboro and Hudson (80 Main St., Hudson). We begin at 10 AM for anyone wishing to drop off and go to their home congregation. We ask that all youth participating in RE are signed in by 10:20 AM so we can gather before heading into the sanctuary.

Please note - a completed registration form must be handed to me before parents can drop off kids and go to their home congregation. Registration forms will be available at drop off and can be found on the Circle RE website at: https://uuspiritualexploration.edublogs.org/registration/

We've filled a few slots but could still use one or two more nursery staff in the UCMH nursery on Sunday mornings from 10 AM - 12 PM. Pay is $30/Sunday. If you know of a teen (or young adult/adult!) who might be interested in this opportunity, please pass this info along, or my contact information.

Bright Blessings, Cynthia (cynthia.menard013@gmail.com)
