This week we are preparing for the Garage Sale, Friday and maybe Saturday, here in Pine River at Mary's house, 618 3rd St N. Set up day will be Thursday. Let's hope for a clear warmish day! It has been in the 50s and 60s the last few days.

A couple of items to report. The book Anton Treuer brought to facebook attention is called Indian Nations of North America, a National Geographic production, for which he contributed the chapter on native people of the Northeastern region. Illustrated as NG is famous for, the history and culture of our local Ojibwe is part of this survey over the whole area from the Atlantic coast inland to the Great Lakes. We are happy to include this wonderful book in the Travelin Truth Telling Tour of books on and by native American authors. The Tour will be at the Union Church in Hackensack through the month of  August, with books on loan during that time.

News from Elsewhere: The Unitarian Church of Underwood is holding a workshop on November 9, "Building Stronger UU Congregations." Ian Evison from Mid-America Region will be on hand to meet with participants, and other topics, shared best practices, problem solving, and celebration, will be on the agenda. Contact person is Ellen Eastby, President, Unitarian Church of Underwood, 218-730-0803, eastofellen@hotmailcom. Save the date, and registration materials will be forthcoming. I had to look for Underwood; it is west of here (Pine River), over near Fergus Falls.

Have a wonderful week!
