Busy time at UUFANJ! As liaison I will do my best to keep you informed of the prominent doings at UUFANJ – at times with a serving of Side With Love Action news.
March 21 will be the first THIRD FRIDAY ACTION HOUR at noon. As usual there are no obligations to participate in all the actions, no long-term commitments, or demands for donations. Participate at your leisure. Since there is push back from the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker on codifying an existing directive commonly known as the Immigration Trust Act, action will be taken up again. Other actions depend on developing events. There may be more Action Hour sessions added if deemed necessary. For more information, click on the link in the graphic.
SAVE THE DATE. The hybrid UUFANJ Annual Meeting will be held at the UU Church at Washington Crossing on Saturday 31 10AM-3PM. Since the Gala had been canceled, the Annual Meeting will include presentations by each of the task forces. More information to follow.
UUFANJ is looking for folks to serve on the board or as task force leaders/co-leaders. Training will be provided. For those who want to keep up to date on issues but don’t have the time to get deeply involved, sign up to get emails from the task force/s of interest. Go to uufaithaction.org for more information. Each Task Force is fighting the good fight on many fronts. Respect!
