Thanks to all who contributed to the UUFC Emergency Aid Fund on Giving Tuesday and after. UUFC members contributed almost $2000 to this fund, which is used to help other members who are in dire need of assistance to make it through housing, utility, medical, auto, transportation and other short-term crises. You have made a difference. Thank you!

Many, many thanks to the more than 120 wonderful people who joined together to make our 2023 Holiday Fair a success – the planning team, advertising designer, sign makers, flyer distributors, greenery makers, bakers and candy makers, café cooks and kitchen staff, greeters, cashiers, furniture movers, and of course, the artisans. It was awesome!
