On Sunday we all thoroughly enjoyed Musicale XII! What a talented bunch of folks we have. It’s wonderful to see our youth participate in this annual event as well.

Almost 20 volunteers helped with … Continue reading UU Travelers… Musicale!

After the scavenger hunt, some of us got a lesson in juggling. (Thank … Continue reading UU Travelers… Nature Scavenger Hunt
