The Alliance is an affinity group affiliated with the Social Justice Coordinating Committee. It is our oldest group and has been in existance almost as long as First Unitarian itself! Its main project is the "Continuing Bazaar" thrift store located at First Unitarian's Gore Hall. You may shop Tuesdays during the Alliance meeting and Sundays after the service. Proceeds from the store go to local charities that the Alliance supports. MEETINGS The Alliance meets each Tuesday from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM in Gore Hall to sort donated items and plan activities. (The meeting at large is at Noon.) Our general pattern is - 1st Tuesday of the month the Alliance Board meets in the library before the meeting at large.
- 2nd Tuesday is potluck lunch or we make plans to dine out. (The rest of the time is BYO.)
- 3rd Tuesdays we gather in the kitchen first thing in the morning to make sandwiches for the homeless.
- 4th Tuesdays and 5th Tuesdays may have a speaker of note.
Of course, each month things may vary slightly. Please check the current monthly Alliance article below for schedule details. HOW TO JOIN
Most of our members are from both First Unitarian and University Unitarian but you do not have to be a church member to join. Everyone of all ages is welcome to join in body or spirit.

It is that time again! Our annual all-church rummage sale will be held on Friday & Saturday, Oct. 29 & 30, 2010, 8:00am - 2:00pm, in Gore Hall. That means we need "junque," volunteers, more junque, and more volunteers! It is time to start cleaning out the garage and all those drawers and closets that filled up since last year. A reminder: we need junque that is clean, in working order, and includes all its pieces. And we always need volunteers - please remember to sign up so that we know how many helpers we have. Last year we had a successful sale. With a little effort from everyone, we will do even better this year. We need help for the following: - Setting up in Gore Hall on Thursday, Oct. 28th, from 2:00 to 7:00pm
- Working during the sale on Friday and Saturday (8:00am - 2:00pm)
- Packing up what's left on Saturday afternoon (from approx. 2:30 to 3:30pm)
If you have items to donate, drop them off: - Either on Sundays during Coffee Hour in the Gore Hall storeroom (ask Eva Brinson of the Alliance if you're not sure where to put your items),
- Or during the week from 8:00am to 2:00pm (call the church office beforehand to make sure someone is here to let you in).
This sale could not happen without all the wonderful "Junque" that comes from everyone's closets, garages, and attics. If you're interested in volunteering - or if you just have a question about the sale - contact Amy at the church office,

The Alliance - Jun 2010
May 1st is membership renewal time, and one of our members will match any money given over the $10.00 yearly dues. The Alliance is essentially a giving circle. We raise money from donations and our continuing bazaar and donate most of it to local charities. Last year we gave away $15,000. We also pledge to our two churches. The Alliance is an important voice for Unitarians Universalists in the community. Donate your money with 70 other men and women and make a difference. Make your check payable to The Alliance and mail it to the church or give it to Shirley Jantzen. Thank you. |
