The Building and Grounds Team is planning on caulking all the windows in the UUFCM building to reduce heat loss. If you have experience caulking, please contact Norma Bailey (baile1nj@cmich.edu) or Jen Prout (poutyprouty66@gmail.com).
Jennifer Davis and Norma Bailey highly recommend the movie “Sound of Freedom,” now showing at Celebration Cinema. “Sound of Freedom” is the amazing true story of Tim Ballard, a former U.S. government agent, who quit his job in order to devote his life to rescuing children from global sex traffickers. The link to the trailer is below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt0kp4VW1cI The special social justice “plate” offering on July 16 is for The Care Store, a local agency that works with over 35 social service agencies, schools, and churches in Isabella County to provide people with much needed personal hygiene and household cleaning products. You can donate online to the Social Justice Fund at our website or checks can be sent to our treasurer made out to UUFCM with “The Care Store” indicated in the memo line. We are excited to announce that Wendy Altmeier has accepted a contract as UUFCM Administrative Assistant. Her first day was July 1. She will be primarily working with the Newsletter, Order of Service and other administrative tasks. Wendy moved to Midland over 15 years ago. She previously lived in Philadelphia and worked for the National Office of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America as their Database Administrator. She moved to Midland with her son, Dominic, for better educational opportunities for him. She has a plethora of non-profit experience as the former Database & Technology Manager at Cancer Services and the former Development Administrator for The Children's Grief Center of the Great Lakes Bay Region, both in Midland. She is currently the Office Administrator for the UU Fellowship of Midland for the past six years. Wendy lives in Midland with her kids (Dominic and Katy) and a few furry companions. In her spare time, she loves to read, spend time with her kids, and create horrendous art projects. She is excited to be here and get to know everyone! The Social Justice Coordinating Team (SJCT), in coordination with five other local churches, is leading a School Shoe Drive to collect new and very gently used tennis shoes and casual shoes, any size, for school children. The drive goes for the month of July, and the shoes will be donated to Clothing, INC, in time for parents to get shoes in August before school starts up. Please place them in the box provided in the Fellowship Hall by July 31. If you’re not a shopper, any member of the SJCT will be glad to shop for you!
