As most of us know, our national association of Unitarian Universalists, known as the UUA, holds an annual meeting each June to address a variety of topics, concerns and to attend to business issues. Known as the “General Assembly”, each congregation is assigned a number of voting delegates: we have two, appointed by our fellowship, to represent us the “GA.” All UUs are able to attend the many events (though there are fees for some) but only those appointed can vote on issues.
For the past several years our BHUU Fellowship has appointed Pat Shifferd and Judy Barisonzi to represent us at the “Business Session”, authorizing them to cast votes for us if needed. Both Judy and Pat have devoted hours sitting through these meetings on zoom, and bring back valuable information and insight as UUA has negotiated the difficult waters of “change” instituted.
And resisted.

Messenger St. in Rice Lake and also on Zoom – the link may be requested from mydogknows@gmail.com
