FUUSM Homecoming 2022 Support Team Meeting

Monday, March 14^th 6 pm est.

The first meeting of the Homecoming 2022 Support Team will be March 
14^th at 6pm on Zoom. A meeting code and link will be sent the day prior 
to the meeting.

The goal of the support team is to work together to create two different 
weekend activities that will celebrate the 157 year story of FUUSM by 
bringing us together after the various struggles we've all experienced 
over the past two years.

The first activity is an art display to be located inside the church on 
Sunday, May 1^st . The art can be of any nature and will be just a few 
pieces so it seems we aren't taking on too much. There will also be the 
annual may pole dance outside, led by Rev. Kat Hawbaker.

The second set of activities take place as part of the Homecoming 2022 
celebration weekend picnic and concert (potentially an activity Friday 
evening, Saturday afternoon picnic and Saturday evening activities such 
as a concert).

We are hoping that you will have other suggestions of people that might 
like to join the committee to help to work together to celebrate our 
stories of caring, social justice and community building.


Below is the announcement that has appeared in the FUUSM order of 
service and Confluence:

We want to celebrate FUUSM with pre-recorded stories and music of 
members and friends. FUUSM's Homecoming 2022 is a chance to reconnect or 
invite new friends to join in. Whether it is online through Zoom and 
Facebook or in person at our beautiful church building, we are eager to 
share our rich history. Homecoming 2022 events will begin starting today 
(March 5^th ) and continue the first Sunday of each month through July.

Homecoming 2022: Plans are in the works for monthly themes that share 
the stories of the FUUSM members and friends.  The special service will 
include a historical moment by Rev. Kat, individual video recordings of 
stories and an announcement about the Dance Card and the need for 
volunteers.

Dance Cards* will be distributed regularly to help everyone to be 
reminded to speak to their FUUSM friends and neighbors about the rich 
stories that built the society. The last weekend in July there will be a 
homecoming picnic, a concert and more.

We invite you, whether you are a member or a friend to make a 3 to 4 
minute video sharing a special memory you have about some experience you 
have had throughthe church. Or perhaps just a short story about some 
real connection you made while working on a committee or attending a 
service.

The goal is for the Homecoming 2022 activities to 
connect/reconnect/invite folks from the past to be a part of the 
UUfuture. Who have you not seen forever that you might give a jingle and 
have a conversation?What would Nahum Ward, our founder say?

“They wouldn’t let you and the girls dance?”

“Then we’ll just build a church where everyone can dance!”

  If you're interested in volunteering to be on the planning committee 
or for the weekend event please get in touch with Roger Kalter 
(rogerkalter1 at gmail) or (740) 525-1833. Donations are welcome to support 
the homecoming festivities.


Dance Cards*

Dance cards are part of a 10 month homecoming campaign to increase 
participation in FUUSM activities. The goal of the dance card is to have 
a way to reach out to other members, friends and anyone else in the 
community to share the good work of FUUSM and the July homecoming 
celebration the last weekend in July. By recording the names and contact 
info on the Dance Card volunteers will have a way to determine who 
hasn't been invited. Blank Dance Cards are available at the FUUSM office 
or at the Sunday service. Filled cards should be sent or taken to the 
FUUSM office.
