Spring is here-- which means spring cleaning! While you're cleaning out your kitchen pantry, consider bringing a non-perishable food item to Sunday's service where items collected will be delivered to the Community Food Cupboard. Located on Nester Street, they provide monthly food service to qualified seniors and emergency provisions to families in need. Thank you for your generosity!

PASSOVER SEDER:
Clara Barton Lounge, Friday, April 22nd at 6:00 PM. Based on tradition, it will have a distinctly UU flavor and be an open inter-generational participatory event with children and youth most welcome. (Prizes for whoever finds the
Afikoman).
Matzoh ball soup,
a la Gilbert & Ward-Baker,
traditional beverages, and ritual foods will be provided. Sign-ups will begin March 27th so we can prepare appropriately. A pot luck dinner will be part of the event so capacity will be limited. If you would like to help or have questions, please call Lew Ward-Baker at 244-6968 or email at
patnlew@rochester.rr.com.
THE BOOK GROUP is pleased to announce that they will be reading:
"The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness."
The book is now in paperback and the library has many copies.
The book group will meet at 12 noon on April 24th in the discussion
room on the second floor. All are welcome and it is not necessary
to have read the book. See you then. For questions contact either
