APRIL SAVE-THE-DATES!

Sunday, April 19, 11:15, Bylaw Changes Vote. This will be held following the service on April 19th at about 11:15 am at the Grange. Please put this on your calendar. We will need a quorum in order to hold the vote. Proxy votes cannot count toward a quorum. So we need you there! The sole item on the agenda for the meeting on April 19th is to vote on the bylaw change. So I anticipate that the meeting will be very short. Kris Reed, Chair, UUFM Board.

Sunday, April 19, 1:30-3:00, UU 101: What Is Unitarian Universalism? Whether you’re new to Unitarianism and/or UUFM, or even if you’ve been around awhile but would like a refresher, the public is welcome to “UU 101”! This free, informal 1 1/2-hour class will focus on the question of “What is Unitarian Universalism?”, the origins and evolution of UU, as well as the history of our local McMinnville fellowship. The class will be co-taught by Rev. Bryan Jessup, retired Unitarian Universalist minister, and long-time UUFM member, Eric Gabrielsen, who is a presenter on this subject. This will be held at the Fireside Room at 1st Baptist Church, Washington Street Entrance. RSVP to uufmconnect@uufmac.org.
