This Sunday, our children will be delivering our pennies to the bank to be counted. The Pennies for Peace project that our Religious Education program has done all summer collects pennies for a schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The program was created by Greg Mortenson (author of Three Cups of Tea) who, as director of the Central Asia Institute, has built dozens of schools. An interview was just done with him on NPR recently - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93902559
Good job to all our students. We can't wait to see what the final tally is!

Unitarian Universalist Association Launches Knoxville Relief Fund |
Many of you have asked about a way to provide aid to those most directly affected by the tragedies of July 27th.
The Unitarian Universalist Association, in association with the UUA Thomas Jefferson District, has launched the Knoxville Relief Fund, to bring ministry, spiritual care, and practical financial assistance to those affected by the tragedy in Knoxville, Tennessee. Gifts to the fund will assist members of the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church and Westside Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and their loved ones, and will show them that they are not alone during this time of shock and grief.
Income from the Knoxville Relief Fund will go to the Thomas Jefferson District of the UUA to be used at their discretion to assist Tennessee Valley UU Church and Westside Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and their members. No more than 5% of the funds raised will be used to cover administrative costs, including fees for credit card processing, before being directed to the Thomas Jefferson District. For more information on the Knoxville Relief Fund, including a link for online donations, please visit http://www.uua.org/giving/donatenow/117168.shtml. |
