AUUC Annual Meeting - June 28th
Also given the current environment, the Board has decided to delay the annual meeting of the congregation until June 28th at 12pm. We will definitely prepare for an online Zoom meeting, and we will continue to monitor and assess whether an in-person option is also feasible. So, no meeting on May 17th, and mark your calendars for June 28th.

Drop In & Stay Connected
We're now offering TWO casual weekly opportunities to hang out and connect online!
1.) On Wednesday nights: Join us at 6:30 pm for a casual mid-week hangout with other UU friends! Bring your dinner, an activity, or just chill together. Click bit.ly/UUHangout to register!
2.) On Thursday afternoons: Drop In Stay Connected Option! That's right, you are officially invited to a DISCO! We'll gather from Noon - 1:00 PM eastern time. For now, facilitated by Laura Conkle. Laura will hold this space weekly, on Thursday from Noon to 1 PM eastern time for as long as we need it to be a thing.
Use this link to join: https://bit.ly/2Va62Sn.
We'll have time on Zoom to share stories, experiences, projects, or simply be quiet together. If this is when you eat, bring that along, too. I can't tell you the number of times I've been on zoom eating myself or someone else eating. It's so normal ~ it's boring. Also, you're invited to bring coloring pages, knitting, or any other creative thing you're working on to share and / or advance during our time together. All are welcome. Please note ~ This is a welcoming space for neurodivergent folx. We will have moments of quiet and also take turns sharing so that everyone has an opportunity to speak or write in chat or pass.
