Committee Fair
|
Sunday, September 1, 2013 12:30 PM
Connect! Volunteer!
During this Committee Fair (yes, we'll be having the potluck at the same time!) you will have an opportunity to meet our Committee chairpersons, learn what the committees do -- and of greater importance -- find a place to use your talents.
Each committee is a team of volunteers who serve the Fellowship. From parties and community service to painting the hallways and greeting visitors, our volunteer committees are the magic behind this Beloved Community.
Anyone-AUUF friend or member-can serve on a committee. Serve for an hour or a week, once a month or once a year. It's up to you. There are many opportunities and you can find the fit that's right for you.

Hiking/Camping in New Mexico
|
September 13-15, 2013 (leave and return in evenings)
A few of us decided we needed to go camping before the snow flies! Join the Music Team and the Hiking Team to spend the weekend in beautiful New Mexico. Sugarite Canyon State Park is located near Raton, NM, about a 4-hour drive from Amarillo; click here for driving directions. We can all enjoy good camping facilities, lots of trails for hiking and fun things to do in the town of Raton. They are making progress on handicapped access; check closer to the date to learn if the site is accessible.
We hope to carpool, and need to have a head count because we must make reservations. Please RSVP to Andrea Byers or Wendy Hearn.
