Town Hall Meeting TOMORROW, SATURDAY, Feb. 21

with Jim Key,

Moderator of the Unitarian Universalist Association

 

Tomorrow, Saturday, February 21 

from 1 - 2:30 (Library or Meeting Room)

 

Jim Key, the Moderator of the Unitarian Universalist Association, is a crucial, well-connected and important lay leader for the Unitarian Universalist movement.

 

This is a challenging time.  But we are not alone! As Unitarian Universalists we are connected to people across the country and the world as religious liberals dedicated to making the world a better place.  We share many of the same concerns, face many of the same challenges and honor together to good that we do.  Jim Key travels widely meeting with other Unitarian Universalists.  Jim is also a visionary in his own right.  Therefore he is uniquely qualified to share who we are now as a movement and where we are headed.  Come find out what is going on and bring your questions and concerns. Childcare provided.

 

Note: The weather for Saturday may include some winter foulness.  Check with our website, WFIU and Facebook for possible event cancellations due to poor driving conditions.

Sunday, February 22, 2015    9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.
