UUP 2009

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a bunch of us met up in downtown Petaluma to pick up litter, and to distribute compact fluorescent lightbulbs in low-income neighborhoods. A great way to spend the morning, after which we all had lunch together.

We took our annual photo on the front steps of the Woman's Club in early February.

UUP held its first-ever "Fifth Sunday Luncheon" on March 29, a vegan lunch sponsored by the Social Responsibility Committee, focusing our attention on the "Ethical Eating" study / action, and, at the same time, collecting food for COTS, and working on building our float for the upcoming Butter and Egg Days Parade.

On April 26, about 40 of us marched in Petaluma's Butter and Egg Days Parade, featuring an elephant made of recycled materials, UU-Umbo.

On Memorial Day Weekend, we held our seventh annual all-congregation retreat, the sixth year in a row at Four Springs in Lake County.

In September, a bunch of us participated in Petaluma's annual Coastal Cleanup Day, focusing on a portion of the Petaluma River up by Corona Road. We found and hauled away several hundred pounds of trash.

In October, we participated in the 350.org event which transformed Petaluma's City Hall grounds into a sustainable landscape.

On November 15, we held a rousing worship service featuring local jazz band, Blue 7, in a celebration of "Jazz and the Spirit."
