Saturday, May 18, 2:30 – 4:30PM in the UUCPA Main Hall! This one is a collaboration between UUCPA, and the Bay Area Country Dance Society (BACDS), who feature such dances in their week long family summer camp: https://bacds.org/familyweek/ . BACDS is providing the caller, musicians, and break entertainment, and UUCPA is providing the hall and sound support.

So what kind of dances might you expect at the community dance? Easy-to-learn fun dances designed to get all ages up and dancing! Dances that have been done in the past include:

Our religious education program’s project for the Spring focuses on democracy:

What is it? Why does it matter? How does it work?

This only happens one Sunday a year, so don’t miss it!

At this Sunday’s Budget Town Hall, we will all see the anticipated budget for the coming fiscal year. Please join in for that important meeting ~ with bagels and fruit at 11:15 to tide you over (online attendees: use the same link as the Sunday service). Pledges keep coming in, but as I write, we are about $70,000 short on our budget. We are missing a couple of dozen pledges to keep our programs, and the staffing and facilities that make them possible, at the level we have enjoyed this current year. If you have not yet pledged, please do so if you are able to, so the Board decisions can be as careful as possible.

Many thanks, and here’s to seeing you this Sunday, April 7❤️.

Blessings,
Amy
