The Unitarian Universalist Society of Schenectady is celebrating 125 years in Schenectady! And as part of our celebration, the three people pictured here represent something new and exciting for our congregation. They were nominated by UUSS members and will all be honored at our Love in Action CommUUnity Gala & Awards Dinner at Union College on Saturday, October 17.

Specifically, they will be recognized for the ways that their efforts have brought Compassion, Justice and Joy — values that are central to the UUSS Mission — to the wider Schenectady community.

Maura Furey (above left) will receive our new Love in Action Compassion Award for her work as a coordinator of StreetSoldiers – Schenectady.

Mark King (above center) will receive the Love in Action Justice Award for his leadership of the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy.

And Mona Golub (above right) will receive the Love in Action Joy Award for her years of curating and producing Music Haven.

Thanks to all who helped put Love in Action at the CommUUnity Gala!
