The Big Winner is……. Ken Vernon with his Thai Basil Mac and Cheese! Ken raised 38.30 in votes, while the runner up was Mary’s 5 cheese Mac and Cheese raising $36.80. A very close race. The kids favorite was without a doubt the Kercher’s PRIDE Mac and Cheese (by far the most creative!!!).

Immigration Justice Coalition needs help

A young woman and her family in our community need help. We have known her for some time.

She is a 20 something young woman who was brought here by undocumented parents as a toddler. She could not get DACA status because she could not adequately document all of the many addresses her parents had or the schools she attended.

She, her parents and a sister are undocumented. But, they have two young brothers (maybe 8 and 10) who are citizens.

She is under threat of deportation and doesn’t feel she can fill out the application form some landlords require. She needs a two bedroom apartment and can pay $700-$800.

This is a good family that many of us know. If you know of any place available, please contact Sandi Gaulke (stgaulke@openvistas.net) or Rodger McDaniel (rmc81448@gmail.com)
Thank you!

UUCC’s High School Youth Group are collecting aluminum cans for various organizations. Each month we will announce a new organization we plan to donate to. Please bring your clean, aluminum cans in and place them in the recycling container on Sundays. We’ll take it from there. THANK YOU!!!
