SUMMARY:Help Stuff Stockings on Dec. 4th
DESCRIPTION:Last December\, UUSS members and friends packed 93 Holiday Stockings for children in Schenectady. This December\, the need is so much greater. We can’t fix grocery prices or the national SNAP mess\, but we UU’s can help make Christmas and Hanukkah a little happier for local families in need. Can we collect enough small toys\, toiletries\, kids hats and mittens to fill at least 125 stockings this year??? Filling 125 stockings means collecting at least 625 items! \nThe Daytime Alliance and EBWA are co-sponsoring this 5th annual Holiday Stocking Stuffer event. The process is easy. We provide the stockings; you provide the fillers. \nOn the next two Sundays (November 23\, and 30)\, please bring small items for children ages 3 – 12 to church and drop your donated items into the boxes at the back of the Great Hall. The Sycamore Collaborative Emergency Food Pantry has especially asked us to provide toothpaste\, toothbrushes\, children’s winter hats & mittens. Small stuffed animals\, toys\, books\, stickers & art/craft supplies are needed too. \nAlso\, all are welcome to join in the fun of filling the stockings at UUSS on Thursday\, Dec. 4. Starting at 11 AM\, we will stuff the stockings\, then enjoy a catered lunch together at 12 noon\, and at 1 pm\, hear about local food needs with a presentation by Sarah McGaughnen from the Regional Food Bank. \nLunch on December 4 will be $20\, payable with cash or check at the door. To RSVP for lunch\, please contact Nancy Bogdanowicz.

SUMMARY:BIPOC Authors Book Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us online on Monday\, Dec. 29th from 6 – 7 for a discussion of this month’s book by a BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, or other Person of Color) author. \nDuring the last month of the year\, we read poetry – to reflect\, as one year ends and another one begins\, in stanzas that we have not created ourselves. Our choice for this December – Words Under the Words: Selected Poems by Naomi Shihab Nye\, (Palestinian American) 1994 \nFrom Nye’s poem\, “The Shopper” \nWe must bless ourselves with peaches.\nPray to the eggplant\, silent among her sisters\,\nthat the seeds will not be bitter on the tongue.\nConfess our fears to the flesh of the tomato:\nwe too go forward only halfway ripened\ndreaming of the deeper red. \nIf you have suggestions for novels\, historical fiction\, memoirs\, or books of poetry by BIPOC authors\, please send them along to info at uuschenectady dot org. You may write here for the Zoom info too.
