The Florida Department of Transportation will be closing off HALF of our entrance driveway starting Tuesday, December 3 through Friday, December 6 (4 full days) in order to pour the new sidewalk. After that, they will re-open that side for us to use and close the other side for another 4 days, starting Tuesday December 10th through Friday December 13th. Please exercise CAUTION entering and exiting our church parking lot during those time periods.
Phil Scanlan, UUCJ member in Fernandina Beach, will be on the UUCJ campus on December 8 where he will have copies of his new book A Path to Reason for America for sale for $10 — and Phil will donate all proceeds from sales back to UUCJ. This will be an opportunity to talk with Phil about his book, his reasons for writing it, and his passion for improving the lives of all Americans. (And get him to autograph your copy!)
Description of the book: The first half of the book explains how to fix Washington and resolve our multiple crises using a quality approach. The second half of the book provides examples of how to apply this quality approach to reduce twenty-three US crises while balancing the budget. With each crisis analysis is a personal story to show how individuals are affected by each of these crises. The underlying root cause of the loss of hope in the American dream is identified along with how to restore hope in the American dream.
Thanks again for your contributions — you exceeded 100 pounds (105) for the second time in November! Donations this month have been 56, 110, 77, and 105. Thanks for the uptick in contributions as Arlington Community Services continues to feed less fortunate in Arlington Community. Our YTD total is 2,784 pounds that includes Sunday and Arlington Community Garden donations.
Our campaign is running well for 2019. The $2,015 we collected last year for global human rights may be hard to beat, but we’ll continue filling those coin boxes, buying chocolates, and writing checks for UUSC until the end of December. Many thanks for your support!
