Greg Brown, a member of San Dieguito UU Fellowship for
30 years and an architect, joined several other members
last Saturday in sprucing up the grounds. Stu Anderson chairs the Fellowship's Buildings/Grounds Landscape Group.
From
Len Pellettieri of First UU Church: “If
you haven't heard of the book 'Three Cups of Tea' by David
Relin, you
will. It's the KPBS/San Diego Public Library's choice for
the San Diego Reads campaign going on. It's the true story
of a hero, American Greg Mortenson, who has built 66 schools
for girls and boys in the remote mountains of Pakistan -
and now Afghanistan. At an open-to-the-public meeting at
the Old Globe on Jan. 28, Relin showed slides and told the
story to a packed house. Very inspirational.”
The
audience was moved to ask, “What can we do to help?” One
of the answers was, Buy and read the book; then pass it
on.”
On Monday, Feb. 18, Greg will speak at the University of
San Diego's Joan Kroc Peace and Justice Institute at 6 p.m.
Call (619) 260-5821 for more information. On Tuesday, Feb.
19, at 11:15 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. he'll speak at San Diego
City College. Call (619) 388- 3554. On Feb. 20, he'll be
at Camp Pendleton. Call (760) 899-2105. |

Pride Parade. The 34th annual Pride Parade will kick off
at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 19, in Hillcrest with a theme
of "Live, Love, Be." The Pride Festival will be
held on July 19 and 20. Last year, the Festival raised $150,000.00
which was distributed to 80 organizations in San Diego County
committed to civil rights, aging, health and human services,
arts and culture, and education. Some of the funds went to
the LGBT Resource Center at San Diego State to support LGBT
awareness programs and replace a stolen Pride flag. Since
1996, Pride has raised more than $1.2 million for community
organizations.

of April 25 and 26) will be making a donation to the Fellowship.
