members of the LGBT community. Years ago, our Society became a Welcoming Congregation through the
process of presenting the UUA WC curriculum, and last spring we held the first “refresher” set of sessions,
which has been updated and includes more about transgender issues. We are in the process of looking for
members to lead a second set of classes this coming spring. Our intention is to continue to offer this first part
of the curriculum a few more times before we move onto Part II. Keep your eyes open for announcements
about enrollment, and please take part if you can.
I feel blessed to be a part of this community, and honored to serve as your President.

Transylvanian Dinner / Trip Fundraiser
Saturday, January 11, 5:30 PM
from Cathie Brown and Joan O’Brien, co-chairs Partner Church Committee
Our society has had a partner church in Homoródkarácsonyfalva, Transylvania for over 20 years. This
wonderful partnership is mutually beneficial to both our society and
their church. The USNF Partner Church Committee fosters both
communication and education. It also holds several fundraising
events to help fund travel opportunities between the congregations
and to purchase items that may be needed by our partner church.
This summer we are planning to send USNF Youth Group members
and chaperones to Karácsonyfalva, Transylvania. We were able to
secure a grant from the UUPC for $500, thanks to the efforts of Laurel Foster-Moore, and our tag sale netted a profit of $1,600. More
funds are needed and will take a coordinated whole Society effort to
make this trip happen. You can support our youth pilgrimage efforts by purchasing tickets to our
Transylvanian Dinner on Saturday, January 11 from 5:30-7 PM. Tickets will be available at Social
Hour through December. Donations to the youth scholarship fund can be made by writing a check to
