HATS is a meeting time for women to discuss issues in our lives. We are here to support one another as life throw challenges at us. We keep confidences within the group. It is less structured than Small Groups, as the topics are not set. HATS has been part of 1st UU since 1999.

Thank you from Jendi Miller
I received a thank you note from Jendi Schroeder-Miller for the money Florida UUWR gave her.
"i can not thank you enough for the contribution you helped to make toward Coralynn. I was absolutely speechless when we received your gift. Coralynn is growing and thriving thanks to your help! With much love, Jendi"
Diana Fraser said that Jendi, who is 17 years old, is still walking to school at St. Pete College and taking care of the baby, the sister Jendi's mother had while in prison. Diana said Jendi was so appreciative and in tears when she got our gift.
thanks to all of you,

Change of Plans
Quoting an article from TampaBay.com:
"The University of South Florida, which leases the 160-year-old house north of Brooksville and runs it as a conference center, will shut it down July 1. The facility loses about $100,000 a year, said spokeswoman Lara Wade, "and we can no longer afford to subsidize it.''
That means no more retreats or weddings, no more jobs for the Manor House's five employees, and, most importantly, an uncertain future for what may be the county's most historically significant and scenic property."
What this means to us is that we currently have no place to host this fall's retreat. Those of you who may know of a suitable site, please contact Michelle Gilberrt-Gregg by email: mmgyoga2go at yahoo.com
Michelle has been working on a retreat for October 9 - 11, 2009, to be titled
Peace through Yoga.
There are some facilities that may be available, but that could involve more rustic facilities, or greater expense, or reduced privacy. If you are interested in attending a UUWR retreat this fall, please let Michelle know your thoughts on this.
UUFBR Womanspirit June 8th
Dear Women of WomanSpirit...
Next Monday, June 8th, we gather for an evening of celebration of the month of June: June is named for the Goddess Juno; it's the time of Summer Solstice, of weddings and graduations -- it's the time for UUA General Assembly and for easing into summer activities.
All UUFBR women members and friends are welcome to be part of this gathering at 7:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary: bring a June poem or piece of music, a solstice candle (non-scented, please), pictures from June occasions, or ??????
Bring also your thoughts about the future of the "scarf hoop" we created last November when Jan Taddeo led us through the sacred hoop ritual. We have been keeping the hoop in Jan's office -- but she is leaving soon. Would those whose scarves are on the hoop like to have them returned? or should we send the scarves & hoop on with Jan so that other women can add to it when she leads this ritual elsewhere? or, should we ....(what are your thoughts?)..............???
