The Women's Alliance
The UUCB Women’s group (Women’s Alliance) is open to all women. The group meets monthly, usually at the home of a member. Its varied programs provide fun, friendship, opportunities for social awareness and intellectual growth. The group sponsors fund-raising activities for church projects and for social action organizations within the larger community.
Over the last few years the group has made donations to
Warm Thy Neighbor,
Giving Winds
,
the
Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program
and
Sexual Assault Services of Midcoast Maine
.
Members empty their gardens in the spring to hold a popular Plant Sale. Special events have included a highly successful 'Empty Bowls' supper that benefited the Gathering Place drop-in center and the raffling off of a doll's house that one member found, another (with help from her husband) substantially renovated, and many helped to furnish. Members of the Alliance comprise a significant number of the volunteers who put on the Holiday Fair in December.
Monthly meetings cover a wide range of topics from Poetry Reading, to Backyard Habitats, to a cooking demonstration by the owner of Henry and Marty’s. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, September - November and January - May.
For more information see program announcements in

All women members and friends are welcome – we enthusiastically invite you to join us.
