On Sunday, September 11,2005, First Parish UU held a Hurricane Katrina Relief Lasagna Supper. We raised $1,500 to be donated to the American Red Cross. Thank you to everyone who made lasagna, salad, and desserts, brought drinks and bread, and helped on the afternoon and evening of the supper.

UUA-UUSC Gulf Coast Relief Fund

The efforts to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina have spurred the UUA to partner with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to establish a relief fund. As of September 18, 2005, the relief fund has received $1,168,311. The UU churches in that area are in the Southwest and Mid-South Districts. All funds received will be distributed under the auspices of these 2 districts and will be used for hurricane relief and for the UU congregations in those two districts so that their ministries in their communities can be restored. If you wish to know about this UU effort, you may go to the UUA website, www.uua.org. and click on to Gulf Relief. They would welcome contributions from all of us. If you would like to donate, send checks payable to the "UUA-UUSC Gulf Coast Relief Fund" to:
