Giving Tuesday
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. This is the first time UUWR has participated in GivingTuesday.
Many thanks to a handful of donors who contributed $160 total. With the match, we now have $320.
Report from GA 2023
Our first day of the Exhibit Hall was busy and exhausting! Pauline and I drove to Pittsburgh Monday, spent all day Tuesday and part of Wednesday morning setting up the booth, and then chatted with folks all afternoon. We sold out of 3 different items by Thursday, and the interest was already high.

SPECIAL GUEST ANN KEELER EVANS, M.Div.
What if there were a Tarot, that was not your grandmother’s tarot and was the most UU Tarot you could imagine? Historically, Tarot answered questions about the fates’ influence on your lives. What happens when you release antiquated archetypes, hierarchies, and isms?
Ann Keeler Evans’ Peacemaker Tarot for the 21st Century answers those questions — releasing the mysticism without losing Mystery. What are you called to in this world? What do your gifts make you perfectly suited to offer? How will you change the world? Have a reading, buy the books, (you can buy a set of cards on-line and download Volume II-C to support your reading of her cards.)
One-card Major Arcana readings offered on site for $30 (with $5 included for UUWR). Inquire/Schedule a longer 5 Card Major Arcana reading with Ann for $125 at ann@annkeelerevans.org.
Ann will be at the booth Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
We are also holding another raffle to give away 6 more gift bags.
UUWR Historical Documents
Thanks to the efforts of our Continental UUW&R core group, district W&R groups who contributed materials, and Meadville-Lombard Theological School, UUW&R historical documents are now digitized and available to read online!
District W&R Task Force newsletters are available, as well as Central MidWest District W&R's creative journal, Sophia.
As part of Meadville-Lombard's Heresies Special Collection, the physical documents are available in their library in Chicago.
Do you have W&R materials stashed away somewhere? UUW&R would love to have them. Contact Gretchen to make arrangements.
