SUNDAY
PROGRAMS
July 1 WHEN
IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS Think of the participating men (and
women) who gathered to move forward and write the Declaration of Independence.
If you could invite one or two of them to dinner, who would you most like to
share the evening with and why? Penny Hendricks will lead this
program.
July 8
THE ACA STANDS! Universal health insurance for the
US is now a matter of implementation. Our guest presenter will
provide an overview of the Affordable Care Act laws key components and lead a discussion on how
they are supposed to work within the three domains of health policy: access,
quality and cost. Questions are welcome. This bill is 2000 legalese
pages or about the same as Atlas Shrugged. Some laws are in place, the
biggest is to be implemented in 2014. Les Berg will moderate.
July 15
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING This is an annual meeting required by
our by-laws. We will vote for a new board (would you like to be a board
member?). We will also look at donations to organizations that we might
wish to support as a fellowship. Plan to attend if you can. This
will also be a chance to offer input and hear what others think.
July 22 - WHO
IS DENNIS KUCINICH? His name is familiar to many of us. As a
Congressman from Ohio, he was a voice in the political arena for the values UUs
cherish: peace, justice, and opportunity for all who seek to better their
life in America. How much do we know of him as a man and of his personal
and political history? Lenore Snodey will present interesting facts
about his philosophy and life experiences and his goals as a private citizen
now. Peter Landecker will moderate.
July 29 ERNIE
PIPES RETURNS Reverend Emeritus Ernie Pipes will return
to us with more food for thought and discussion. His topic will be
announced later. Bob Johnson will moderate
