Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Brainerd/Pine River MN 6/4/14

Greetings, friends and NUUFers: The June newsletter is not out yet, because we are still working out locations and dates for the fall. We are making a real effort to find a Sunday venue, still central for most, and think there is a possibility. Until then, keep a watch here for news.

A planning meeting was held on May 28 at Lakes Latte in Pequot Lakes. Progress on locations was discussed, disposition of the Travelin Truth Telling Tour books accomplished. We set a tentative schedule as follows:

Sept 13,14  Water Service  Melissa
Sept 27,28 Letting Go of God PartI   Mary
Oct 11,12  Goodbye Columbus
Oct 25,26 Letting Go of God PartII   Alison

We have asked Suzanne Wasilczuk to come for a guest sermon during this period, and as yet have not firmed up a date until we get the location decided. So plans are subject to change.

A letter has been sent to Bob Whipple, for suggestions on persons who might be interested in acting as liaison with us from the Leech Lake Band, for the purpose of proposing a change in the MN laws to include a native American day on the date set aside for Columbus Day. We will be gathering support for this among the northern tier of UU congregations, and have the commitment of Mesabi UU Church for a start, as well as interest from the Union Church in Hackensack. I will see Bob on the 9th.

We checked on powwows coming up as a possible excursion on a picnic date this summer, as well as a trip to The Farm at St Matthias, to be decided.

Thanks for your patience! Respectfully submitted, Mary DeYoung, News Director NUUF  218-587-2543
