~ Our next movie will depend on YOU! Hello fellow UU’rs, my name is Frank Cambra and I have volunteered to re-start the monthly movies and dining out group. However, I would like to include theater plays as an “event” (movie/theater + dining) to the mix. As for the process, the individual will purchase their own ticket(s) for the movie/theater. Show your interest! ~ Questions? frankcambra@aol.com or 817.821.5082

ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out)
Resuming on 2nd & 4th Thursdays -- September 10 & 24!!
A group of UU congregants who meet for fellowship discussions that allow us to get to know each other and to explore the issues, national, state, and local, that impact our fellow Americans as they relate to our covenants as UU members and those who are exploring membership. All are welcome! We are not exclusive regarding retirement, so “pre-ROMEOs” are welcome to join us if they have time in their schedules to make the meetings. We meet from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at SKILLETS on Airport Pulling Road (in the former Bed Bath and Beyond plaza, just north of the Airport Road and Pine Ridge Road intersection). The restaurant likes to have an estimate of the number of people who will attend, so if you are going to join us, please contact Michael Finkel at michaelfinkelmd@gmail.com.
Welcoming Women
1st Thursdays!
Lunch meetings are on 1st Thursdays at 12 pm. We meet in the space between the kitchen and the Sanctuary. Bring a picnic lunch. We will make coffee and decaf. If we are lucky, someone might bake a dessert or fruit. RSVPs would be helpful in deciding how much coffee to make! For more information, or if you are planning to attend please contact Janet Mallozzi at janet.mallozzi@gmail.com.
First Friday!
Please bring a finger food to share and the drink of your choice
Would you like to Sponsor a First Friday gathering either at your home or at the UUCGN pavilion? The host provides the place and takes care of the details including setup and cleanup and the guests bring finger food and their drink of choice to share. These are great events to get to know other congregants. If you'd like to sponsor an event, please email office@uunaples.org. Thank You!
Circle Dinners - Recessed for the Summer!
Circle Dinners are social gatherings of small groups (usually 6-7, maybe 9-10 depending on available seating) who spend an evening at a members’ home sharing a meal – sort of pot-luck style. These dinners are a great way to meet new folks in a comfortable setting, or just get together with old friends for a nice evening. They are held on the third Friday each month, and you can come to one – or all of them! Contact Cynthia Scher at cscher0903@gmail.com
Bereavement Group
Please email office@uunaples.org if interested in meeting together with Joan Leary, Licensed Therapist in a supportive, confidential setting to discuss loss. Due to the sensitive nature of this group, registration is required.
Attention Visitors
Visitor's Table
Please look for the Visitor’s Welcome Table on the pavilion after service. All visitors are encouraged to come to the table to ask any questions from a membership committee member or to get to know other recent visitors at UUCGN. Look forward to meeting you!
Prospective Member Orientation
Would you like to become more engaged at UUCGN? Rev. Tony Fisher and the Membership Committee offer regular “New to UU?” orientation sessions on the last Sunday and the first Sunday of each month. On the last Sunday, Rev. Fisher will invite folks to share their journey to our doors and then give a brief overview of Unitarian Universalism. On the first Sunday of the month, we hope to be able to answer any questions you might have, introduce you to some of our lay leaders, and provide you with specific examples about the many ways you might join your time and talents with others on our shared journey. If you are interested in membership, these two sessions are a necessary part of that process. These sessions take place Sundays after the service, so if you are interested in learning more about Unitarian
Universalism and this vibrant congregation, please join us for a “New to UU?” orientation. We’d love to see you! Please contact 239-455-6553 or office@uunaples.org to sign up! Our next “New to UU?” orientation session will be Sunday, September 27. Our next follow-up session will be Sunday, October 4.
