| Wanted: YOUR Fundraiser Ideas |  Fundraisers are always better when the ideas come from you, our members and friends! If you've got a great idea for a fundraiser for next year, now is the time to tell us about it - the Board will be calendaring next year's fundraisers at our June meeting.
Tell us your idea by filling out this short application and returning it to the UUCM office by Friday, June 14. For more information, visit our Fundraisers page.
You may be thinking "My idea is great, but I can't possibly do it all by myself!" Don't worry, people will step up to assist you. They always do. There are many ways to help you recruit volunteers, but we need to know your idea first.
Questions? Please email Susan Ingersoll at fundraiser@uumarin.org or Janette Morrow at office@uumarin.org.
An application is now required per our new Fundraising Policy, so that the Board has the necessary information to effectively evaluate all fundraisers. |

Book Group - June 19
| |  Our Book Group meets on third Wednesdays at 7:30 in the Clara Barton Room. Members and visitors are invited to join us in lively discussions.
The selection for June 19 is Restless by William Boyd:
"Boyd's ninth novel, an absorbing historical thriller, is loosely based on the history of a covert branch of British intelligence created to coax America into the Second World War. The story unfolds on parallel tracks as Sally Gilmartin, born Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian emigree recruited into the British Secret Service in 1939, reveals her clandestine past in an autobiography that she gives to her daughter, Ruth, a graduate student and single mother living a dull civilian life in Oxford in 1976." (The New Yorker)

Annual Semi-Official, Semi-Organized Summer Family Camping Trip to Sly Park: July 11 - 14
| |  Dear Friends,
For the past 13 years or so an often varied group of your fellow UUCM'ers and related friends have made an annual trek into the Sierras for a fun weekend of car/RV/tent camping. Well, believe it or not another year has passed and once again that time is upon us.
This year the dates are Thursday, July 11th through Sunday, July 14th. The place is Sly Park on Jenkinson Lake just outside Pollock Pines on Highway 50, and our sites are once again in the Hazel Creek camp and can accommodate tents or RVs. (more information about Sly Park)This has always been a wonderfully rewarding weekend and a great opportunity to get to know folks on a different level than Sunday mornings. Space is limited, so please let me know as soon as possible if you want to be part of this trip. The cost is reasonable, generally about $25-30 per vehicle per night (pets are $5/night extra).
Please send me an email ( mikey@biosearchtech.com) or give me a call (415.320.5054) to let me know you want to be a part of this trip, or if you have any questions. Thanks and I hope to see you there.

Foster Care Parents needed
| |  It has been called to the attention of the Social Justice Committee that there are more than 6000 children in the Bay Area who need foster care.
Becoming a foster parent can offer rich rewards, and often transforms foster parents as well as the foster children in their care. Here are some great reasons to become a Marin County foster parent:
Live With Purpose.
Become A Success.
Build Your Family.
Share Your Values.
Watch A Child Bloom & Grow.
Be Part of A Miracle!

Social Justice Education/Action Activities
|
Because the Winter shelter is closed until mid-November, there will be an even more pressing need (if that's possible) at the Mill St. Shelter and for the Street Chaplain's Tuesday night dinners. Please keep an eye out here for details as needs arise. --------------------------------------------------------------- Homeward Bound of Marin is the primary provider of shelter and services for homeless families and individuals. They seek volunteers to represent the program at Marin Farmers Markets. 459-5843
--------------------------------------------------------------
Members and guests are invited to take advantage of the Sunday Social Justice "Table" to promote a favorite cause or project. Perhaps you want to circulate a handout or a written petition (or refer people to electronic online petitions.) Arrangements must be submitted for committee approval in advance. figleafjoan@comcast.net 453-6221
