UU Avl Events
Aug. 24 – Curious Conversations – Let’s Talk About Reparations. See Rev. Claudia’s blog for resources. Noon-1PM, Sandburg Hall. Bring a bagged lunch.
Aug. 25 – Back to School Action Hour – 11:00am. Another school year is underway, but the promise of adequate school funding for our kids remains unfulfilled. Next Friday, we will mark the one-year anniversary of the historic Leandro school funding court decision by writing Letters to the Editor. Together, we will send a loud and clear message to the NC General Assembly that enough is enough. Release the Leandro Funds and give our children the sound basic education they deserve.

Sept. 15 – 7 p.m. In partnership with the Film Ministry screening of “Eating Our Way To Extinction” the UUAM Asheville Chapter will provide planet and animal friendly snacks. Click here for details.
