ANNOUNCEMENTS
WELCOME REV. WALTER R. BRAMAN: At the recommendation of the Consulting Minister Search
Committee, the Board of Trustees has hired Rev. Walter R. Braman to serve as a half-time minister for
the UUFF during the coming year. More than a decade ago, Rev. Braman served the Fellowship as an
interim minister, at which time he became so enamored with the Fredericksburg area that he continued
to reside here. When approached about serving the UUFF again, Rev. Braman, who has been retired
for a few years, was most enthusiastic about the opportunity. He will begin leading services two
Sundays a month in September. Please take the time to introduce yourself to Rev. Braman and give him
a big UUFF welcome.
NEW BUILDING PROGRESS: Yes, we ARE making progress! Our Site Plan has been submitted to
Stafford County. Should be 1-2 months to approval and then submitting the Request for the Building
Permit, and then the REAL EXCITEMENT of construction. Stay tuned.
VACATION: KIRA BUSH, OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR, will be on vacation the week of August 9th. The office
will be closed on that Thursday, August 12th. Normal summer hours will resume on Thursday, August
19th. There will be NO announcements for Sunday, August 15th, so please plan ahead. In the event of
an office emergency, please contact Nancy Krause.
ARE YOU LOOKING for a way to connect with members of the Fellowship in a small group setting? The
Relational Circle has two openings. This Community Circle will meet one Saturday a month beginning
in September. Older children can accompany their member parents, but there is no formal childcare at
these meetings. Contact Marylise or Damien Cobey for more information.
CINDY ROSS IS LOOKING for a young person who could give a few hours of help with the UUFF music
library. If there are any middle or high school students who need community service hours for school,
please contact her to set up a time to work on the music library. Skills: filing, counting, computer data
entry, etc.
2ND FRIDAYS BOOK GROUP: Join us on Friday, August 13 at 7 p.m. at the home of Linda Marcus and
Jack Philpott as we discuss "Born Fighting: How the Scots Irish Shaped America" by James Webb.
Contact Susan Park for directions and details.
NEW BOOK GROUP DAYS: Would you be interested in attending the 2nd Fridays Book Group if we met
on a different day? Contact Susan Park with suggestions for alternate meeting days.
THURSDAY MEDITATION CHANGES LOCATION: Due to unforeseen circumstances we will no longer be
able to use the Massey Mediation Center for meditation practice. We would like to extend our gratitude
for the space that Blanton Massey has so graciously allowed us to use for these past many months.
Effective immediately, our sangha will be meeting at 639 Maury Street, Fredericksburg (Todd Drake's
home). The time remains the same. Thank you Todd for allowing us to use this space while we find a
more long term location.
2010-2011 BOARD OF TRUSTEES, President: Bill Brooks, Vice President: Ken Brown, Secretary: Lori
