NEWS FROM THE PEWS FOR MAY 2022
ASTORIA: We’ve been meeting in the nearby hotel lobby, where there is comfy seating within easy reach of the coffee and goodies section of Street 14. I can’t find my notes for our meeting on May 7, but that was the morning of the night to come and the big and wonderful Pete Seeger Trilogy Tribute concert, so please forgive me—I’m sure it was a great discussion, though! I’ll do better in June, I promise! If you were at the CK and want to rattle my cage with updates, I’ll publish them.
PENINSULA: I think we invented a new word: Adhocracy. I think it must mean “democracy in need of a quick fix”. What do you think? We met on Saturday afternoon May 14, at Colleen’s coffee and yarn shop in Ocean Park, in the back room where Colleen and her partner entertain UU guests from all over the peninsula. Topics: toilets—high or low? Love among the puppies. Urinals—high or low? We heard introductions from our newbies—Dan and Bunny. Helen let us know she’s going to be moving back to Salt Lake. THERE’S GOING TO BE A PUUF CHOIR, LED BY JENNIFER GOODENBERG!
TILLAMOOK COUNTY: We continue to meet in June’s Famous Garage in Manzanita, best coffee in town. Our topics for the day were Family Secrets (nothing too lurid, though), reminiscences about how a couple of our members met in social work school! These ladies have wonderful memories of UUism in the PNW, especially how their forebears were instrumental in starting some of the small congregations in Oregon. Lots of memories to come, I’m sure.
SOUTH CLATSOP COUNTY: The evil COVID had surged and caught a couple of our members in its virally flood, so we decided that the better part of valor would be NOT to meet. We may not meet in June either, because of members’ other obligations.
That’s it for May—more in June!
Love,
Kit
