Guest At Your Table  2017 “Small Change is Big Change” –  Please consider taking a donation box to support this annual UUSC  intergenerational fundraising event. This is a program in which UU members are asked to place a box on your “table” during the holiday season to encourage us to give spare change, or divert dollars if you wish from other holiday expenses. No amount is too small so please give as you and your guests can.  If you’d like a box see Barb Harrison .
