Fund Raising
Yard Sale (Fall)- Yard sale will be for Congregation to donate
items to the SJC/ UUWC for use of raising funds for the UUWC, by holding
yard sale inviting the public at large to participate in buying. All
proceeds will go to the UUWC, items that are preferred to be auctioned off
(like services are specific items) should not be donated at this time.
Social Justice will be moving forward with Little Free
Library, Yard Sales in the Fall, and look towards creating more
conversation around Racial Justice.
