The new Chair is Sister Pat Kenoyer, and Kathy Butterfield is the Vice Chair and Secretary. Other current members are Dick Dawson, Charlotte Haupt, Louann Stahl, John Allard (Youth Envoy), Manny & Sara Pedram, and Angela Allard. If you are interested in working on international human rights/water rights or other UN issues, please join us at our monthly meeting on the first Saturday of each month, at All Souls, in the Meeting Room, at 1:30.
The upcoming projects for this committee include hosting House Parties to discuss important work that is being done at the U.N., with the goal of building support for the annual convention of G.A.M.E., the Global And Multicultural Education organization, that holds its event in October each year.
In the recent past, the UU-UNO committee sponsored a Sunday Service that highlighted a Kansas City Youth trip to the U.N. To participate in the Commission on the Status of Women and Children. This month, the committee helped sponsor a Sunday Plus lunch to raise money for the group to travel to the U.N. Nine local high school students, leave on 02/25/2012 and will be making a presentation to the U.N. Commission about the Kansas City Roots for Refugee program.
If you have questions about how to get involved, please contact: Sister Pat Kenoyer, patkenoyer@gmail.com. or just come to the next meeting! All are welcome.
