March 1 – James Valcq and Robert Boles The Intimacy and Power of Theatre
Join the co-artistic directors of Third Avenue Playhouse in Sturgeon Bay for a lively discussion of why the experience of live theatre matters. Theatre provides the spiritual experience of communion among actors and audience members in a way that no other medium does. At its best, theatre sparks personal growth and social change.
James Valcq is the composer of the Off-Broadway musical The Spitfire Grill written with collaborator Fred Alley. Broadway credits as conductor and/or musician include Chicago, Flower Drum Song, Cabaret, Scarlet Pimpernel. As an actor he has appeared with Boise Contemporary Theatre, American Stage Company, Door Shakespeare, Stage Door Theatre Co., AFT, Milwaukee Rep, and First Stage.
Robert Boles began his career as a founding member of the Arkansas Repertory Theatre. Regional credits include Indiana Rep, Delaware Theatre Co., Madison Rep, and Skylight Opera. He appeared in Footloose on Broadway and the National Tour. Television credits: Law & Order, The Equalizer, and SVU; Films: Ransom and First Wives Club.

March 8 – Estella Lauter Making It Happen: Equality for All Women
Each year on or near International Women’s Day, we pause to reflect on the condition of women here and elsewhere in the world. While some claim that women in the U.S. have gained equality, the news about who is at the bottom of the economic ladder, whose reproductive rights are under fire, and who is being sold in the international sex trade tells another story. Equality is one of the central values stated in both the Declaration of Universal Human Rights and Unitarian Universalist principles. Hermann Melville called it “the center and circumference of all democracy.” What is equality? Sameness, likeness, equivalence, balance, fairness or all of the above? Can we stop fighting about what it means and defend it as a moral imperative? More important, can we “make it happen” for all women instead of just a few?
Estella Lauter, Professor Emerita UW Oshkosh, retired in Door County in 2004 after 33 years of teaching at UWGB and UW Oshkosh. She helped to develop women’s studies and American Indian studies in addition to teaching literature and interdisciplinary courses in the
arts. She continues to teach a winter course in literature by and about women at the Clearing, and is the current Poet Laureate of Door County (2013-2015).

March 15 – Brian and Leila Pertl Deep Listening as Spiritual Practice
We are surrounded by sounds every day from our morning alarm clock to the drone of late night TV. At times it may seem sound permeates nearly every aspect of our busy days. Our ears are always “on.” We have no ear-lids after all, so whatever noise occurs around us, we hear it. So how on earth can the everyday act of hearing become a spiritual practice? In this interactive conversation, Brian and Leila Pertl will explore ways to re-conceptualize one’s perception of sound, music, and even noise through Deep Listening (a holistic approach to the art of listening, movement, perception created by composer Pauline Oliveros). We invite you to join us for this introspective sonic journey.
Leila Pertl is a groundbreaking music educator who has designed an elementary school music program where every child has music every day. There are no musicians and non-musicians. Every child’s inner musician is nurtured and celebrated.
Brian Pertl is the Dean of the Lawrence Conservatory of Music and is passionate about changing the way we teach music and the arts in our schools. Together Leila and Brian give workshops of creativity to corporate leaders, educators, and community groups.

March 22 – Claudena Skran Understanding Ebola: Fear and Heroism
Now that the Ebola epidemic in West Africa is diminishing, it is a good time to reflect on the meaning of this global health crisis. On the one hand, an immediate response to the spread of the disease was fear, a reaction increased by the media coverage of the epidemic. On the other, some individuals reacted with heroism and courage; it was this response that ultimately brought the epidemic under control. Drawing on her personal experiences in Sierra Leone, our speaker will share some of the stories of the heroes, past and present, who have fought Ebola.
Professor Claudena Skran teaches African politics and international relations at Lawrence University. An Appleton resident since 1990,

MARCH 2015 UU UPDATE 2
President's Column By Bob Lindahl
We are a “LAY-LED” congregation. We don’t stop to contemplate that fact often enough. So, beyond a lay person leading Sunday services, just what does that mean?
In order for our Fellowship to sustain itself, it takes serious consideration and active involvement of EVERY able bodied member and friend. For the most part, the congregation is moved forward by Committee and Board work. Decisions of Committees and Boards are supported by our Administrator, but need to be CARRIED OUT, to a great extent, by lay members and friends.
If you are not currently using your talents and interests fully, where might you fit in? You will assuredly find working with your fellow UU’s to be rewarding and will likely develop an even closer bond with this incredible organization. Which spot is the right fit for you? Have you contemplated where you might fit in? Caring Committee? See Jami Hanreddy Education and Enrichment Committee? See Valerie Murre-Schlick Facilities Committee?

Scandia Village Birthday Party For many years, local churches have been sponsoring monthly Birthday Parties for residents of the Care Center at Scandia Village in Sister Bay. UUFDC has now been invited to join this list. A big thank you to Dianne Trenchard for organizing UUFDC’s first birthday gathering at Scandia Village on Saturday, March 28 at 2 pm.
Dollars and $ense By David Clowers, Treasurer
Budget preparation for the next fiscal year has begun, and I need your immediate
input! If you are working on a committee, or in an area of our Fellowship life where financial resources are needed, please contact me right away to make your needs known. You can email me at [email protected] or leave a note in my mailbox at UUFDC.
Our last budget added additional funding for administration, support staff and education. While our needs in this area will increase slightly, this year's budget should also add accounting services. Our past treasurer, Juliana Neuman, who is still involved in monitoring our finances, is stepping further away from her contributions in this area. Hiring outside accounting services will also

she first went to Sierra Leone as a Fulbright scholar to study humanitarian assistance pro-jects for refugees in 2005. The author of a United Nations report on refugees in Sierra Leone, Prof. Skran has taken over 60 students to the country as volunteers and researchers since then. She is also the founder of Kidsgive, a scholarship program for children in Sierra Leone.

March 29 – Justice Sunday Escalating Inequality
“Upward mobility—the American Dream—has become a myth. Concentration of wealth and power has skyrocketed. Dr. King’s dream of justice and equality has fractured. Half of all Americans are impoverished or struggling, as the middle class shrinks and billionaires take the profits. Where’s our commitment to the Common Good? Our Unitarian Universal-ist (UU) tradition places its faith in people to create a more loving community for all, guid-ed by “justice, equity, and compassion in hu-man relations.” Challenging extreme inequali-ty has now become a moral imperative, just as prior generations have led movements from abolition to civil rights and marriage equality.” (UUA Congregational Study/Action Issue) During this service we will examine ethical, economic and social aspects of the burgeoning inequality in the U.S.

add a necessary level of oversight to our financial situation.
As previously reported, the appeal for help with our water needs met with your very generous response, and most of these contributions will be carried forward on our restricted funds ledger in anticipation of our future needs in this area. Although the boil notices have been taken down, there are still some improvements to our water system that the governing board will need to act on. There are also areas in our building that need upgrading. We don’t have money set aside for the other major repairs that will eventually arise, and these anticipated needs should be budgeted. Juliana proposed that we set up a reserve fund for this purpose last year and that is a good idea to include in this year's budget as well.
The Governing Board will be discussing these and other issues, and we’d welcome your input.
Planning for the Next Phase of Our Journey as We Age By Estella Lauter
On February 8th, Wayne and Julie Kudick presented a workshop for 29 members and friends on the process of planning. Having spent their careers in Social Work and Nursing, and having cared for a relative with Parkinson's, they are well-versed in the many stages we go through as we deal with illness and infirmity. They began with a reminder of how careful we were about selecting a college, a mate, a job, a house in our early years, and they encouraged us to be just as proactive in planning for the rest of our journey. They brought materials about the many services that are available in Door County and talked us through some ideas that we had not considered previously--for example, a complete checklist of where all our important documents are stored in case of an emergency. Several of us had not heard of a Burial Trust. Others had not investigated the different kinds of care centers that are available here. None of us had realized that the nurse who has been hired part-time for the Stella Maris Parish is also available to us, and there are plans afoot to make her position full-time.
We collected materials from the Kudicks for a file that will be kept at the Fellowship and by the Chair of the Caring Committee. It was refreshing to be able to talk about how we might handle illness and aging with a compatible group and well-informed leaders,
since our culture seems bent on turning back the clock rather than enjoying each new phase of our journey.
Third Sunday Collection Funds Ebola Relief Efforts UUFDC’s Third Sunday Special Collection for the month of March is Ebola Relief. The funds will be sent to the a joint nationwide fundraising campaign organized by Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) and the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) to help halt the devastating spread of Ebola in some of West Africa’s most remote and unreached communities. Community-based organizations working with UUSC will implement lifesaving plans to combat Ebola’s spread by training and equipping front line health and community engagement workers from the most remote and vulnerable communities. New Ebola treatment centers have been established that will focus on rapid case detection, quality patient care, and careful tracing of patient contact. In Sierra Leone, the crisis situation is worsening with the infection of Ebola spreading up to nine times faster in rural areas than it was
two months ago. In Liberia, the rate of new Ebola cases is now declining, but there is still grave concern that infection rates will fluctuate as people lower their guard. By January 2015, Ebola was expected to affect 1.4 million people. UUSC will distribute Ebola funds where they can do the most good, focusing contributions on work that serves people on the margins who are often overlooked.

Movies That Matter Presents DamNation This powerful film odyssey across America explores the change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers. We learn of examples where diverse interests have come together to remove obsolete dams and find more cost-effective options to meet power, shipping, irrigation, and other needs, while helping to restore rivers, preserve tribal customs, recover fish stocks, revitalize waterfronts,

Youth RE Program Update By Anna Knapp, Director of Services to Children and Families
This month we continue our series of stories about our UUFDC families with kids that attend the Youth RE program.
Pam and Terry Goode have been attending the Fellowship since 2007. They started bringing their grandsons, Theo and Trey, about two years ago, after mentioning to their daughter that the RE program was going to be addressing world religions. She and her husband thought that would be worthwhile and of interest to Theo and Trey, so the kids start-ed attending with their grandpar-ents.
Theo and Trey both attend Gi-braltar Elementary. Theo is in the 4th grade and Trey is in 2nd grade.
As grandparents, their involve-ment is unique compared to the other RE families. Pam and Terry like the idea of having the boys learn about other religions and learning about the UU principles, which reinforce what they learn from their family. Theo and Trey like the oth-er kids as well as the weekly program and project. In the car on the way home one Sun-day, after a particularly fun RE, Trey exclaimed, "I love UU!" Both boys also enjoy the food after RE!
Pam and Terry like that the boys are learning about other people's beliefs as well as Uni-tarian Universalism. They’d like to see that continue as well as putting beliefs into prac-tice, maybe something in the area of the environment or social responsibility. They do enjoy the times that the kids stay with the adults for the main service. They say there is a great benefit from these types of interactions. All in all, they are very pleased with the Youth RE program and are so glad Theo and Trey enjoy attending.

improve recreational opportunities and render watersheds more resilient to climate change.
Some call it a movement with a rallying cry from John Muir, “Free the rivers”; others call it a generational shift in values. DamNation documents both — and the undeniable momentum behind river restoration that has begun to take hold in our country. The good news is that when obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access.
With majestic cinematography that takes the viewers through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, DamNation, garnered Audience Choice awards at both the SXSW Film Festival and Mountain Film in Telluride. Don’t miss this documentary on Tuesday, March 17, 4:30 pm at UUFDC. (2014, 87 min)
Social Responsibility Committee Update By Chuck Lauter
UUFDC has recognized the UUSC-sponsored Justice Sunday since 2007. About half the years we have used UUSC themes and half our own themes. This year UUSC focuses on climate change, but we’ve identified that concern for the past two years. So, we will address “Escalating Inequality,” the UUA Congregational Study/Action Issue 2014-2018. We will begin with showing and
discussing the Robert Reich film Inequality for All at 7 pm on Friday, March 27. This film documents and discusses the consequences of the steadily widening income gap in this country. It was shown earlier in MTM, but is worth seeing again and a must-see for those wishing to be educated on this topic. The Sunday service through the message, story, and song will challenge us to use our UU Principles to address this issue. In the discussion following the service we can reflect on what each of us might do singly and together. Handouts and resource material from SRC will be available.
Additionally, the Social Responsibility Committee has agreed to research, select and purchase, whenever possible, products whose ingredients do not harm the environment, that are made from recycled materials, and whose manufacturers take actions that are environmentally friendly for UUFDC. In consultation with Pat, SRC members will do this work to help UUFDC use "green" products both for cleaning and for office supplies. Although many "green" products are currently used at UUFDC, we want to further our commitment to helping our earth. And as part of this effort, we ask members and friends to refrain from dropping off cleaning or office supplies to UUFDC. As we identify our "green" products and where to buy them, we will share this with the Fellowship to help members and friends work on updating their supplies at home as well.
New Members Trish and Jim Black signed the book on Sunday, February 8, 2015. Welcome!

A Note from Dottie Gerrits Dear UUFDC Members and Friends, I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for the outpouring of support and love Lloyd and I received at a time when it meant so very much. I shared the sadness I felt with you all and was able to relate some of your beautiful responses to him. My home life will never be the same but having all of you as an extended family is so comforting. I hope I will be able to respond in kind for you someday. But, I write with a smile, not soon.
The next exhibit in the UU Gallery features landscape photography by Laszlo A. Szakala from March 1 through April 28.
Born in Budapest, Hungary, Laszlo came to the United States in 1991. After learning English, he pursued his lifelong dream by earning a degree in Fine Art Photography, with an emphasis on black and white printing, in 1997. He resides in Baileys Harbor with his wife and three children.
Laszlo specializes in black and white and color landscape photography, with a focus on rock formations, trees and flowing water. He has found his subjects throughout the United States, in California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Tennessee, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin. He uses a 4 x 5 large-format film camera and prints by hand. He does not use digital equipment or techniques. Influences on his work include Ansel Adams, John Sexton and Howard Bond, under whom he studied.
His work is a part of the permanent collection at the Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay and is held in many private collections. Although Fine Art Photography is not a career for him, it remains his passion and a joy that draws him back time and time again.
The UU Gallery is located at 10341 Hwy. 42 in north Ephraim. Gallery hours are 1-3 pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 11am-12:30 pm Sunday, and by appointment at 854-7559.

MARCH 2015 UU UPDATE 5
Memorial Service A memorial service celebrating the life of Lloyd Gerrits will be held on Friday, March 13, 3 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Door County. If you are able to help with and/or bring food for the reception following the service, please email Dianne Trenchard ([email protected]) who is coordinating hospitality for this gathering.
The UU Book Club By Karon Winzenz
On March 4 staring at 1pm we will discuss Between: Memoir of an Integration Baby by Mark Morrison-Reed, a Unitarian Minister, published by Skinner House Books, a UUA printing house. We invite everyone to participate in what has been described as “a gift from his heart in order to reveal the complexities of race that haunt us all (Wm. F. Schultz).” Gerri Friedberg will be hostess and will contact you regarding attendance in late February. Mark Morrison-Reed was born on the South Side of Chicago during the 1950’s in a twilight zone between the races. A black hippie, he tried to reconcile the "make love not war" ethos of the white counter-culture with the demands of awakening black power consciousness. On May 6 at 1:00 pm we will discuss Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini. The historical novel presents “a stunning account of the friendship that blossomed between Mary Todd Lincoln and her seamstress, Elizabeth “Lizzie” Keckley, a former slave who gained her professional reputation in Washington, D.C. by outfitting the city’s elite. Keckley made history by sewing for First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln within the White House, a trusted witness to many private moments between the President and his wife, two of the most compelling figures in American history (Good Reads.com.).”
A MESSAGE FROM THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE:
We Want Workers and Leaders Another UU Fellowship has adopted the theme “We’re Gonna Make This Place our Home.” They go on to say, “[Caring for the Fellowship] encompasses a great deal. It’s about the generosity of each of us with all the gifts, skills, and talents it takes to make this place our home. It takes our attention and care. It takes all of us being willing to roll up our sleeves to maintain the buildings and grounds we have. It takes commitment to the many boards, committees, and teams that keep our religious and spiritual home functioning. It takes keeping an open heart
for everyone who calls this place home. It takes active outreach into our community and world with our message of hope and justice.”
The nominating committee (Alan Kopischke, Chuck Lauter, and Dick Smythe) sees the above as a good representation of the way UUFDC functions, often described as a strong community of caring people. The above paragraph also projects the fact that it takes lots of effort on the part of many people to make this happen. Here at UUFDC, 50-60 members and friends staff the various committees and leadership positions, plus many more volunteer for activities. This is out of a Fellowship of 100 members and about 100 friends, but some no longer live here, others are away parts of the year, and some are inactive. Thus, our pool from which to draw workers and leaders is limited. To paraphrase Uncle Sam, “We Want You!” Please consider where your skills and talents can best be applied at the Fellowship. Then let a board member or nominating committee member know so that we can build a leadership and program structure for the future.
Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth The Adult Education and Enrichment committee is presenting the PBS documentary on Sundays in April and May. Filmed in 1988, right before Campbell died, the documentary consists of six one-hour conversations between Bill Moyers and Campbell. Put these dates on your calendar now: April 12, 19, 26; May 3, 17, 31. Each Sunday the screening will start at 12:30 pm and be followed by a discussion. For more information contact Valerie Murre– Schlick at 839-5008.
Thank You! On February 8, Roger Benedict presented to the Fellowship an amazing hand-carved rendering of our building. It is hanging in the sanctuary for all to admire. Be sure to check out the photo album and see documentation of all the steps in the process.
This month both Bruce Nelson and Tom Schroeder stopped in to handle some building issues at the Fellowship. Tom repaired the back storm door that was barely hanging on. Bruce has been taking our water samples over to the Ephraim lab for the past couple of weeks. He also removed the broken curtain hardware in the Gathering Room and hung Roger’s wood carving. It is wonderful to have volunteers to call whenever something comes up.
ECO SOLUTIONS: REDUCE – the first of our three Rs.
Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. A few questions to ask yourself: Do I really need this? The easiest way to reduce is to not buy. Will I use this often? If not, perhaps you can borrow it, rent it, or share the cost with a neighbor/friend. Do I get junk mail and advertisements? If so, request your name be taken off mailing lists. Do I enjoy reading and watching movies? Remember your local library is a great place to check out these items. Do I sometimes forget my shopping bag? No problem – just let the clerk know you can carry the item(s) without a bag. If all the other people on the Earth used as much "stuff" as we do in the United States, there would need to be three to five times more space just to hold and sustain everybody.... WOW!
