Foocus on Economic Justice

Social Justice Meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 30th, 7 pm, after a WW supper prepared by our youth group as a youth fundraiser—let’s support their efforts!

Our first Fair Trade Mini Fair
was a rousing success! Everyone liked the organic, fair trade chocolate, hot chocolate, and teas, UU Service Committee holiday cards, and fair trade scarves. Carolyn Bourassa’s soaps and crafts were also a hit, as were Ella Webster’s origami cranes. This Green Sanctuary project was a lot of fun! We’ll have a second chance to buy holiday cards the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and also have a second chance for tea and chocolate when we sell coffee again. The fair trade, organic coffee sales will move to the second Sunday of every month, beginning Dec. 11th.

Be sure to read the December Unison on the "Common Ground" conference
that brought together activists from across the state. From UUCS, Jinx Jenkins, Alice Sutton, Judy Allen, and Marie Griffin attended the conference, and Marie reported on the conference. The inspiring keynote speech was given by Dr. Reverend Neal Jones, minister at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Columbia.
