Join UUSS for a fantastic FUN(d)raiser! It’s going to be a little different from some other events. First-There will be a delicious catered meal and dancing with Arox-a local rock n roll band in which UUSS member Dan Leonard is the lead guitarist. A night out-you don’t have to cook! And it’s a fundraiser for your congregation!! You can get your dinner and dancing tickets using the QR code in the flyer or on Sunday at the table. The suggested donation for Adults are just $40, teens are $20, and kids under 13 are only $10.

And, we know that not everyone can afford that-so, if you are a person of means, please consider giving a little extra so that others who want to come, can. Let’s shine our generosity so that everyone who wants to attend can enjoy the night too.

There is also a Rock & Roll Raffle in between band sets! If you, your friends, or your Team is interested in creating something like a raffle basket or reusable bag of goodies (cuz it doesn’t have to be a basket), please bring it next Sunday the 12th or May 19 at the latest. General raffle tickets will be 1 ticket for $5 or 3 for $10. You can buy multiple sets of tickets as you wish for those prizes. Like three sets of three would be $30. Or a set of three plus 1 would be 15. You get the idea. For some details about the raffle prizes, click HERE.

In addition to those lovely offerings, we are going to raffle off a Tower of Tea and a Wall of Wine. We ask everyone in the congregation-members, friends, and visitors alike-if your financial situation allows you-to bring boxes or tins of yummy tea or bottles of wine for this extra fun opportunity!

Ok. picture it-a Tower of Tea-herbal, oolong, black tea, green tea, white tea, healing blends, energy boosters. And you could win all that yumminess and/or share it with friends! The Tower of Tea tickets are 1 for $20 and 3 for $50. You can buy as many tickets as you wish in those sets. That may sound like a lot of money but when you think about how much just 1 box of nice tea costs, it’s a bargain! Plus it all goes to your spiritual community! Bring the tea to church with you or drop it off during the week between 1 and 4pm if you are not going to be here on Sundays.

And, if wine is something you can enjoy, imagine the reds, the whites, the blends, the NY, the CA, the French, the Argentinian, all the places and all the grapes… Imagine having just the right pairing with that special meal or a gift for a friend’s housewarming. The Wall of Wine tickets will be $50 each and we will only sell 200 tickets total, so your chances of winning are increased. The address for dropping off your wine is at the Tamara and Berk’s house anytime before 8pm at 2125 Baker Ave E, Niskayuna.  Please leave your donation in the blue bin located on the front porch. Don’t bring it to church please. We can also arrange for someone to come to your house if you have a large amount you want to donate.

And if you know someone who makes tea or wine, we’d really appreciate it if you would ask if they’d be willing to donate to this event. We’re happy to publicly thank them. And if you have a camp or other BIG item you think might help the church raise much needed funds, please contact Rev. Wendy to see if it is in keeping with the plan for the night to have a brief live auction after the band’s second set. We’ll also need a few volunteers to help with clean-up when it’s all over. Sign up at the table on Sunday!
