    SUNDAY PROGRAMS

    March 12 - ALEUT EVACUATION - Told from the perspective of internment survivors, this unique video recalls the 3 years of isolation imposed upon almost 900 Aleut people during World War II. Their story is a reminder that civil liberties can be snatched away and that we need to be alert for the sake of everyone’s rights. Moderator: Lorna McClellan

     March 19 - GALAPAGOS: UNIQUE WORLD RESOURCE - Peter Landecker spent 12 days exploring culture, animal life, and geological formations in Ecuador and the Galapagos. He will share his video and slides of this outstanding trip. Moderator: Peter Landecker

     April 2 - ACCEPTANCE - Monica Cummings, soon to be ordained as a Unitarian Universalist minister, will give a sermon based on the UUA principle: acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations. She is currently based at the Monte Vista UU Congregation in Montclair, CA (near Claremont). Moderator: Rich Johnson

    April 9 - GOOD NEIGHBORS - For 30 years the South Bay Free Clinic has provided essential health and human services free for those in need. Paul Blieden and Jan Hamilton-Lee will describe the range of services provided, and after our program will offer a tour of the new facility, which is just a few blocks from our meeting place. Moderator: Peter Landecker

     April 16 - ANGER MANAGEMENT - Back by popular demand, we welcome again Dr. Milton Wolpin, professor emeritus of psychology at USC and psychotherapist, who will focus on anger and how we can handle it. Moderator: Ada Furth

     April 23 - Easter Sunday (No meeting in Mathews Cottage)

     April 30 - A NEED FOR RESPECT - Les Berg will explore the relationship between human beings and other species, delving into animal emotions, instincts, and our communication with the creatures who share the earth with us. Moderator: Les Berg

     May 7 - RELIGIOUS HUMANISM - Many threads make up the fabric of Unitarian Universalist belief. This thread runs deep. The Rev. Al Henriksen will share his knowledge and experience of religious humanism. Moderator: Lorna McClellan

    ABOUT PROGRAMS: Is there a topic that you would like to see offered for discussion? Is there a speaker that you would like to see invited back? Do you have a special interest that you would like to share? Lorna McClellan has been doing a really great job coming up with the variety of programs that we have enjoyed in the last two years, but we all could help her by giving her our ideas and feedback. (Perhaps we could also let her know her effort is very much appreciated.) Thank you, Lorna, from the newsletter editor who depends on you 95%. If you have an idea, call Lorna.

      

    PRESIDENT’S CORNER

    March 2000

    Our auction at the Aukerman’s raised $1,100. Thanks to Lee and Claire and to all whom participated and made contributions. This was our best auction in several years.

     Our immediate need has shifted from money to volunteers. Due to the pressure of work and other obligations, Sharon has resigned as Treasurer and Lorna is no longer able to do all of the work for programs. She needs help on the Program Committee. Please volunteer for Treasurer or to help Lorna with programs.

     My goal is to have the membership confirm a new Treasurer at the General Meeting on March 25th.

     From SBUF President, Les Berg
