| POST ELECTION | Many thanks to all
who
participated
in the writing
of postcard
efforts. The
UUFoL, in
conjunction
with other
committed
groups, wrote,
stamped, and
mailed several
hundreds of
postcards. In spite of the outcome of the election, we must
continue our
commitment to
helping create
the kind of
world we wish
to live in.
We must not
give up or
give in!
There are many
excellent
groups working
for a better
world. Find
out what needs
to be done.
More than
ever, the
world needs
your
commitment. |

THE
INN MINISTRY We could use coats, jackets, sweaters, warm pants, socks and blankets for the folks at the Inn, as winter is approaching. Folks continue to need food, including protein, such as canned meats, beans and fish with pull tops. For the folks not on the road, but struggling to feed their families, hotdogs and sliced meats are good. Instant grits and oatmeal, quick-cooking rice, ramen noodles, and boxes of mac&cheese work well for those with microwaves. Fresh produce is a blessing - fruit and veggies. Janet and Jim wash broccoli, carrots, whatever they get, and bag them. |

The Rummage Sale Fund Raiser at Jockey Lot was a success. It took a lot of work. Thanks to all who helped and donated. |
