Many of our members who have been faithful
contributors in the past may have forgotten or perhaps it's because
filling a gas tank now costs $50 or more, but please know that
any amount you can give will be gratefully received.
Perhaps the suggested donation of $10 per individual or $20 per
family is not possible in many cases. However, "The Time
Is Now" to grow our faith and together we can! Look for
the Chalice Lighter Table during our Coffee Hour following next
Sunday's service. You will be reminded during the
spoken announcements at the conclusion of the Service as
well as see it written within the Order of Service. Checks
should be made out to UUDMetroNY with Chalice Lighter on the
memo line. Feel good by contributing.

To all UU-ers
I
had thought that I'd be up for writing individual Thank you notes or
making individual calls, but my sister's death affected me even more
than I had expected. So, I'm thanking you en masse. There
were so many kind thoughts and such understanding. I told
some of you that, as a Catholic girl of 13, I gave up candy for a
year to ask God to give me a baby sister. There were already 4
of us and the youngest was 10. Then, at Age 43, my mother found
herself pregnant again, and the wonderful result was Susan, the baby
we all adored. She left us at Age 59 -- WAY TOO SOON.
We are all in disbelief. I know that you all can
understand that.
So
thank you again.
I'm
still trying to sell my house and move to Manhattan. I will
miss the UU community more than anything on Long Island.
Tlaa!

The original concept of the eUnicorn was
to provide information to our congregation regarding
timely events that would occasionally occur in between newsletter
deadlines and/or newsletter delivery. Now it seems that our
eUnicorn weekly email (as opposed to our bi-weekly Unicorn
Newsletter) is the information vehicle for those who do not want
to open attachments, visit websites or click on links. Different
readership? Reinforcing reminders? We're not sure. So be it.
Please remember there is more to know at www.uufsb.org.
Address
all "News" to be read to: UUFSBnews@uufsb.org
On the subject line it would be helpful if you would note: Weekly,
Bi-Weekly or Both if possible. Thank you. Roe (Co-chair
