UU Men's Retreat | | The annual UU Men's Retreat for men in the Pacific Central District is being held the weekend of Oct 14-16 in its usual location at the Westminster Retreat Center in Alamo, CA. This year, we have made the event more affordable: $175 if you register by Sept. 1 and $200 thereafter. If you're under 30, it's only $150. Now's the time to register!
As always, it will be a time for UU men to share our experiences with one another, to learn, to play and to form new bonds with our fellow men. For many of us who come year after year, it's a time of both reflection and of reaching out. I hope you'll be kind to yourself and attend this year's Men's Retreat.
