Dinners for Eight
| |  Make new friends at UUCM at "Dinners for Eight", rotating potluck dinners in members' homes. Have the pleasure of breaking bread with eight people from UUCM in their homes for a wonderful evening of good food and great conversation. The host for each dinner cooks the main dish and works out with attendees what to bring. Dinners usually start about 6:30 and end by 9 to 9:30. There are six dinners each year, (first Saturday of October, November, December, February, March, and April). Each member is expected to host one dinner each year for eight (or six if you are limited in space).
Please contact Sher to sign-up and start saving the 1st Saturday of the month for Dinners for 8, starting Oct.2.

During the post-service coffee hour on Sunday, our Social Concerns Committee sometimes provides an "information table" on various issues of interest to UUCM members. Any UUCM member who would like to present material at an information table can present a social justice "issue" to the Committee for approval to disseminate information on a particular date, preferably with a month of lead time. Just contact a member of the Social Concerns Steering Committee.
