Event Details
We celebrate living our lives at Sunday Assembly! Our secular community meets up on one Sunday per month to enjoy each other’s company, provide mutual support, and create great fun. It's the best parts of a church, without any religious dogma! Instead, we have speakers on wide-ranging topics, sing fun pop tunes, and have potluck lunch together. Elsewhere we have book clubs, meet up at restaurants, go on hikes, see movies, and lots more. Sunday Assemblies are a growing global movement with chapters in Europe, Australia, and many other parts of the United States.
In our "Live better, help often, wonder more" style, this month’s reader Vita welcomes Debra Crow of the Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) Berkeley Puppy Raising Club. She'll be accompanied by her foster puppy Namaka who will one day be a certified guide dog. Debra is a retired finance executive who joined the Berkeley Puppy Raising Club in 2022.
We’ll be trying another adventure at the Hall of the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, at 1924 Cedar Street. Berkeley, CA 94709. BFUU is in a Berkeley residential parking zone “E”, so there is no time restriction on Saturday and Sunday. Wheelchair access is by ramp on the Bonita Ave. corner
10:30 am—The BFUU welcoming start.
11:00 am—Sunday Assembly’s Songs, Laughs and Thoughts (including yours!) member’s moments, a reading and our main Speaker, Debra!
12:00 pm till around 2:00—Potluck lunch...please bring food to share
Join us after the potluck for an interactive session in the Backyard on assisting people who are blind or have low vision. Learn how to approach a person with a disability, how to find out if they would like your help, how to walk with someone who uses a cane or a guide dog, and understanding some of the dos and don'ts. Have some fun while learning in a safe environment.
