We Love Movies

Meets at 7 pm via Zoom. 

On Thursday, October 5, we will discuss the film The Big Short, available on Netflix. Based on a book by Michael Lewis, this is the true story of outsiders who saw what the banks, the media and the government refused to see: the global collapse of the economy. As they attempt to profit from their insight, they view the ugly underbelly of the financial world. You can join the discussion via Zoom; the link is available on the uucrt.org website or in the weekly e-Blast.

We Love Books

Meets the third Thursday of the month at 7 pm via Zoom.

For the October 19 meeting, World Made by Hand by James Howard Kunstler was selected for discussion. In this dystopian world where oil is depleted, there is no government following a terrorist attack on Washington, D.C., disease has decimated the population, and the local structures of civilization have collapsed, the small town of Union Grove in upstate New York works to bring order to their lives. Kunstler tries to show the stark reality of daily life while leaving a glimmer of hope. Please join us via the Zoom link on the uucrt.org website and in the weekly
e- Blast.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is a beautifully wrought saga of human connection and the creative process, of love and all of its complicated levels. A polished, thoughtful novel about loyalty and love that, like the best video games, grows more absorbing the further you venture into it. We will discuss this book on Thursday, November 16 via the Zoom link on the uucrrt.org website and the weekly e-Blast.

Contribute to the Discretionary Fund This Fund allows people in our community to request and receive short term financial support directly from the UUCRT. Give if you can, through our online Vanco portal (click on DONATE in the top right corner of this page), or by mailing your check to our treasurer, Alan Horne. 

The Discretionary Fund exists for times like these.  We are facing a situation unprecedented in our lifetimes. Many people are losing their jobs, and soon many will be sick and need to stay home with unpaid leave.  Others will be burdened with healthcare costs and, sadly, funeral expenses. Some of you may be among this population already. If you are among those in need of financial support please contact the Care Team at CareTeam.uucrt@gmail.com. They will provide that support in confidentiality, protecting the requestors personally identifying information.
