The Laramie Project – a Continental UU Youth
Social Action Event
This February 2011 we invite your
youth group to host a benefit screening of the Laramie Project
movie in February 2011, in partnership with and to benefit
local charities dedicated to reducing hate and intolerance.
Open your
congregation to your community and declare that you Stand
on the Side of Love!
Click on this link
for info about how to make an event like this happen in your
congregation.
- CanUUdle XI is coming May 20 - 23 at the
2011 ACM in Toronto!
The staff team for CanUUdle XI is being put together right
now but that’s not the only way to be involved. We will still
need Touch Group Leaders and Workshop Leaders – if you are
interested in contributing to the CanUUdle community in one of
these ways please contact CanUUdle Co-Deans Elyssa Canning and
Samantha Erlich by emailing canuudle@cuc.ca
Check back here in the new year for more info and
registration materials!
