Global Partner Team meeting, 8/9

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa

Together, we at the UUFC can make the ripples that touch many lives. It is through the Justice Council’s Global Partners Team that we take actions that can have a positive, worldwide effect. Come be a part. This month we will discuss a social event for the UUFC with an eye toward October.

The Global Partner Team will meet on Sunday 8/9 26 at 11:30 in the UUFC Library. Contact Team Lead, Heather E, for more information.
