All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church

On Tuesday (13 May 2008), All Souls experienced storm damage to the building and trees from the heavy winds and rain.

If you have a window fan, please label it with your name and bring it to the church on Friday between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM.

Stanley Steemer is here right now extracting the rest of the water from the carpeting, but they recommend we use fans to keep the air circulating. They would normally be able to provide industrial fans, but theirs are already in use at other locations. We are hoping to have the carpets dry by Sunday morning.

We need help cutting up and hauling away the three trees that fell in the parking lot. Barbara Jarrell and the Walker family will be here Friday morning at 10:00 AM to start that job. If you can help, contact Barbara at 797-1957, email her at hoodathunkit@comcast.net, or just show up.

The All Souls Program Council has selected one of our most energetic members, Bob Jordan, as the Volunteer of the Month for May 2008.

Bob coordinated our Earth Day activities and he screened a film on "global dimming" of the Sun due to airborne particulate pollution.

Earlier in the year, Bob provided music for two benefit concerts for All Souls.  In his spare time, Bob sings in the church choir, helps the church as a sound system technician, and facilitates Alternatives to Violence workshops.

Please welcome Bob as he parks his Prius hybrid in the Volunteer of the Month parking spot this month.
