What does SUUN do?

The SUUN group meets monthly, usually on the second Saturday of each month from 10:00-12:00 noon at First UU Church in Hillcrest. Representatives from each of the congregations share information about upcoming events of potential interest to the larger UU community, exchange knowledge, and coordinate SUUN-sponsored activities.

SUUN sponsors events including the Cluster Leadership Conference and the Taste of UU - Food & Music Festival, as well as other musical events and religious education (like Seminary for a Day). SUUN also helps coordinate and promote various social justice activities, including participation in border justice events and the LGBT Pride Parade and Festival.

SUUN's website (uusandiego.org) is one of the oldest UU sites in San Diego. With over 600 unique visitors per month, we introduce people to Unitarian Universalism and connect new and "new-to-UU" visitors to local UU congregations. Through this site and our Blog, you can learn more about SUUN and UU activities throughout the county.

Interested in participating?

We are looking for congregational representatives! At a minimum, representatives are asked to commit to the following:
  • Attend our monthly meeting: usually 10am-12pm on the second Saturday at the Hillcrest campus of First UU Church.
  • Act as a liaison from your congregation to SUUN.
  • Actively contribute news from your congregation to the SUUN blog.
  • Actively participate in the planning and implementation of SUUN events such as the annual leadership conference, annual BBQ, concerts and more.

Get involved!
If you know someone interested in participating in SUUN, especially from one of the congregations with less than two representatives, encourage them to contact the Board of Directors at their congregation. Representatives to SUUN are appointed by the board of each congregation. If you need help doing that contact us.
