The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis
Many thanks to these Fellowship members who spent a day returning our stored UUFC possessions into the building: John, Bobbi, Gabe, Brian, Steve, Tay, Ginny, Jema, and Wolfgang.
Additional help is still needed with installation and organization. If you’re interested in helping, please contact Wolfgang through Breeze.
Handmade tie-dye t-shirts made by Elaine Kahn will be available to purchase in the parking lot on August 3rd and 10th to raise funds for the Democracy Action Team’s work of letter and postcard writing for the mid-term election.
Beautiful bouquet will be on sale after the service on August 3rd and 10th for $20 each in the parking lot. Proceeds will benefit the Perla family. Brought to you by the Immigrant and Refugee Support Team.

Greetings, UU Fellowship of Corvallis! I have been preparing to move across the country and thinking ahead about settling in there. When I join you in August to begin the interim ministry time, we will have many activities and opportunities for getting to know each other — some more serious, some more fun. I welcome your wisdom about the local area. To gather some of your insights, I’ve made a list of questions, such as your recommendation for a local mechanic, an easy day trip from Corvallis, and your favorite event in the annual life of the congregation. If it would be fun for you, please use the survey form linked below to answer my questions. I look forward to learning more about you and Corvallis!
Rev. Alex McGee
As you are doing your early summer house cleaning and find items you no longer need that have higher value and/or are antique in nature, please considering taking them to Beekman Place Antique Mall (601 SW Western Blvd, Corvallis, OR 97333) for consignment sale under the UUFC account. Once an item sells, the UUFC gets the money, minus a small consignment fee. We made over $1,000 in the past year on the sale of a piece of antique Native American jewelry donated by a UUFC member!
Please call Beekman before dropping items off to assure that they are interested – their number is (541) 753-8250. Their hours are Tuesday – Saturday, 11 AM – 5 PM and Sunday 12 – 5 PM. When you drop something off, just tell the person at the counter that it is for sale under the UUFC account.
Please contact Russ Karow if you have questions.
