 What did the coffee say about its UU visit?  (Read on!)


*Some Service Auction Items Still Available!*
Couldn't make it to the Service Auction last Friday? Or maybe you went, and
now regret not signing up for, say, the FUUSM Valley Gem cruise on June 30?
At Coffee Hour on Sunday, April 21, service auction items that still have
open spots will be available for signup*! Yay!*

*Please Bring Hors d'oeuvres for Brad Bond's Celebration of Life Service
Friday at 5 p.m.*
Cathy Rees, chair of our Caring Committee, is coordinating food for after
the service. The family has requested heavy hors d'oeuvres. Please let
Cathy know if you can help (rrees501 at hotmail.com or  (740) 336-0837).

*The Stairs Got a Nose Job!*

Thanks to Darryl Ting for installing nose-edging on the stairs! It makes
the step edges more visible and safer.


*Thanks to Jim Grecni for closing and opening the sewer valves!*

Once again: No sewage in our basement despite local flooding! This time
thanks to Jim Grecni for closing the valves on Saturday afternoon, and
reopening them Sunday after the river level dropped to a safe level. *Also
thanks to Roger Kalter* for sharing the knowledge of where the valves are
located and how to operate them!
