Volunteer Work Begins

Monday Projects
Five of us (Bob, teenagers,Keeley, John, and Adam) and minister, Rev. Deane began gutting a building for the Common Ground Health Clinic. The other five of us (Terry, Nancy, Marv, Tina, and teenager, Emerald) began cleaning up the building which had just housed the "Pray the Word, Save the Word" Summer Camp and on Wednesday will serve as a Food Bank. Bob's group work was outside in 90+ humid weather; Terry's was inside. The work continues on Tuesday. (Pictures to be posted on Tuesday.)

From 5:00 - 7:00 p.m., the whole group engaged in a dialogue on "Race" facilitated by Quo Vadis Breaux, the Executive Director of "The Ethical Living Center," of which the Katrina Relief Effort is the anchor program, as well as Kate Scott, representing the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Center. What a UUish thing to do!

  1. Hey Bob--
    hi! and right on! from your old OWL teaching partner in Pasadena. Glad you are finding such wonderful ways to express your UUness.
    You are being the change we love to see in the world.
    Thank you to you and your cohorts!
