As we commemorate Labor Day, this talk will provide a brief overview of the tumultuous history of the U.S. labor movement and its relevance for our lives today. We will explore the meaning and scope of labor unions, the legislative context of union formation and survival, and the current strength of U.S. unions in historical and comparative perspective. Along the way, we will discuss the true origins of “Labor Day”. With guest speaker Michael Wallace.

  • UU Choir Rehearsal - Meeting Room

    Thursday, August 27, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
    Choir schedule (starting August 8):
    Thursday evenings: 7:00-8:30. Childcare available upon request.
    Sunday mornings: 8:45 am rehearsal for 9:30 am service, 10:45 am rehearsal for 11:30 am service. Childcare always available.

    Choir exercises body, mind, and spirit. Enhances your vocal fluency and keeps your voice young and flexible. Engages deep listening. Improves posture and lung capacity. Calms and focuses the mind (you won't have time for any other worries during rehearsal). Gives you the best seat in the house for the children's moment. And occasionally puts you smack in the middle of a masterpiece!
