Let's Go Plant A Tree!!

skobierow...@yahoo.com (Susan Kobierowski) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:45:46 UT

Calling All R.E. Kids, Parents and Fellow Tree Huggers (& Planters)!!
We're looking for many hands to help make light work of planting a tree the R.E. classes are donating to the Anchorage Museum of Natural History [201 North Bragaw (across the street from the old Brewsters Store) 274-2400]. We've chosen a small-ish purple crab apple tree, so it won't take long for us to dig an appropriate sized hole and put it in it's new home. We have the tree and some shovels-- all we need is YOU!! This will be an on-going project as we work towards building bridges to communities within our city-- the R.E. classes will visit the tree seasonally to rake, water or pick apples- so let's get it off to a good start! We're meeting at the Museum on Sat., Aug. 9th at noon. Come and dig in the dirt outside the museum, then see how many fossils you can dig up inside!

Volunteers for Planned Parenthood booth, please contact me right away.

Greetings,
We had several volunteers at the State Fair last year in the Planned
Parenthood Booth. Many volunteers are needed this year also. It is
really good to have this booth occupied by volunteers and give the
community a Liberal voice on birth control, sex education, choice,
etc. Please let me know if you can help or are interested. There

I was late in getting this to Micaela for the LOG, so it was not included --
however, the thank yous are all very sincere.

CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL

mogan1...@yahoo.com (David Lee) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:26:06 UT

A big thank you to Ruth Greenwood and Ron Devon for a heart felt service honoring the losses and suffering of the UU's in Knoxville Tennessee. We felt more connected than ever to the wider UU community hearing Ron recite the words of Bill Sinkford our UU President.
Ruth's sensitive words of love and healing were exactly what we needed to hear to help make any sense of this tragedy.

Dear Friends,
We are all deeply saddened by the news this weekend of the tragedy at the Tennessee Valley UU Church (TVUUC), which also affected members of the Westside Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

Anyone have UU musician Jason Shelton's cd?

ruthgreenw...@yahoo.com (Ruth Greenwood) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:42:48 UT

Hello, all,
I'm trying to track down a copy of UU musician Jason Shelton's cd called "The Fire of Commitment," which includes the song "Standing on the Side of Love." This song is quickly becoming something of a "UU anthem," and is a beautiful, life-affirming song about the power of love.
If I can find a copy, I'm thinking of using it towards the end of the Candlelight Vigil tomorrow (Wed.) evening. It's not necessarily something that we could easily sing "cold," nor would our pianist have enough time to learn it properly, so the best option is to have a recording of it. Unfortunately, because the recording label is a small one, they don't have the capacity to offer a mp3 to download, at least not that I've found.

Dear Fellow Unitarian Universalists and Friends,
We were all shocked and saddened to learn about the horrible events that took place
at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville.
Apparently a deeply disturbed man entered the sanctuary yesterday during Sunday
morning service, shouted “hateful things” according to a witness, and opened fire

Most of you know that my son Gavin got married this summer -- in a wonderful
ceremony in Oregon officiated by Fran (who read ancient Greek as part of the
service).

We're having a party to celebrate the wedding at the Kincaid Chalet on
Friday, August 1, 5-9 pm -- and if you knew Gavin as a kid and want to come
