SBUF PROGRAMS
WE
ARE GLAD YOU ASKED!!!
How
do I become a member of the South Bay Unitarian Fellowship??
Membership is open to all persons 15 years of age or older who sign a
membership card expressing agreement with the purpose of the Fellowship.
Members become eligible to vote and hold office three months after
signing membership cards. Members are expected to participate in SBUF activities and to
provide a helping hand and financial support when needed.
HURRAH for the fellowship!!! We have a new member: Milt Holmen has been attending many Sunday mornings over the years as well as offering a variety of programs. Last Sunday, March 4, Milt officially became our newest member.
UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST SERVICE COMMITTEE
UUSC
is the separate organization that ensures that UU values result in action.
We can advance economic justice. We can defend civil liberties. We
can make environmental justice a reality. We can ensure that the most
vulnerable people are not denied their rights when disaster strikes. Together,
we make a difference! SBUF has been recognized for its support of UUSC.
In 2003, only 19% of the fellowship members gave financial support to the
service committee. In 2004, 2005 and 2006, 45%, 55% and 71% SBUF members are giving support to the work of
the service committee, respectively. Many thanks to Peter Landecker for serving as our
UUSC representative, reminding us to support this valuable organization.
To learn more about how this organization works and how your donation is being
used, visit on line at www.uusc.org.
