Our religious education program’s project for the Spring focuses on democracy:
What is it? Why does it matter? How does it work?
The project gets kids on the inside of democracy by engaging in their own election. The project ends with a celebration party on 5/5
The Annual Meeting is on April 21, 12-2pm, in the Main Hall and on Zoom. We will be voting on the budget, justice partners, a bylaws amendment, and candidates for the Board, Nominating Committee, and General Assembly. Full agenda here.
Zoom links will be sent to voting-eligible members a week from the meeting. For those unable to attend, you may submit an absentee ballot (to be released by next week) or name a proxy by the day of the meeting.
To be eligible to vote, members must have made a contribution of record during the past 12 calendar months. You can verify your eligibility by emailing or calling the office.
Candidates for Board of Trustees:
Lisa Helmonds and Judy Lookabill
On agenda is a bylaws amendment regarding creating an exemption process to the contribution of record requirement for membership.
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto proudly welcomes AUTHENTIC SELVES, a traveling photo-text exhibit from Family Diversity Projects. The exhibit will be open to the public from 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. on three Sundays: March 31, April 7, and April 14, 2024.
Groundbreaking in its depictions of joy and community, AUTHENTIC SELVES celebrates trans and nonbinary people and their families in stunning photographs and their own words.
So often trans and nonbinary people’s stories are told only through the lens of their struggles and challenges, including their political battles for legal rights, but trans and nonbinary people live rich and fulfilling lives full of joy and community too.
Authentic Selves is a sweeping compilation of life stories and portraits of trans and nonbinary people, as well as their partners, parents, children, siblings, and chosen family members.
Admission is FREE. Voluntary donations will support Family Diversity Projects—learn more about Family Diversity Projects here.
We welcome you to visit this joyful exhibition.
