HURRICANE PREPARATIONS

As we all prepare for Gustav and possibly Hanna, and with a mandatory evacuation probably immanent, it makes sense to for us to postpone or cancel events for this weekend.

The 3rd Annual Katrina Dinner is postponed. It will be rescheduled as soon as possible after the storm(s). Please freeze your dinner contributions, and we'll use them soon.

The service for Sunday, August 31st, is cancelled. We hope to reschedule North Shore's Linda Allen for a service with us soon in the new church year.

The GNOUU meeting set for Tuesday, September 2, at Marilyn Malone's, is also cancelled.

The Baton Rouge UU Church is putting together a list of UU homes where FUUNO and/or CCUU evacuees can stay. Call the church office at 225-926-2291, or email Diana Dorroh at Diana_Dorroh@hotmail.com.

If you need a ride, PLEASE call me at 504-708-2312 or call the city's ride hotline at 311.

Put my cell phone number with your important papers to make sure you can stay in touch with me. I will have access to email where I'll be, so as long as you have access, we can communicate that way also.

Eric and I will be with family. We cherish hopes of safety for all of us and our beloved city, but it is better to take precautions and be safe.

In faith, Rev. Melanie
