A Welcoming
Congregation
Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
UPCOMING SUNDAY SERVICES
June 1, 9:15 & 11:15 A.M.
Bridging Service – Religious communities are traditionally places we celebrate transitions in life. In our culture, graduation from high school is one
such transition. Unitarian Universalists honor our seniors with a Bridging
Ceremony; they are crossing the bridge to young adulthood. Through ritual,
song and words, we honor this transition in life. This year we have six
young people – Jeffrey Carlson-Ream, Max Meier, Peri Muellner, Will
O’Brien, Grayson Pennell, Rilke Rutenbeck – participating in our Bridging
Service. They will speak to us about who they are at this time in their life.
June 8, 9:15 & 11:15 A.M.
I’m Glad You Asked That Question…
Speakers: Rev. Bode & Laurie Stuart – For our final service of the regular church year, Laurie Stuart and I invite you to send us any questions you
may have – either for Laurie, me, or both of us. During the sermon portion
of the service, we will read your question (without name) and give a brief
response. Questions can be theological, philosophical, practical, personal,
organizational, whatever. Please send your questions to Rev. Bode via email (bruce@olympus.net), by letter to QUUF, or drop them off at the office.
June 15, 10:00 A.M.
All I Really Needed to Know I Learned at a 10-Day Silent Meditation Retreat
Speaker: Shelly Randall. Shelly shares life lessons learned at a Vipassana meditation retreat she attended last summer, at a time when she
really needed to be reminded that being peaceful and happy is a choice
we make every minute of every day.
She makes the case for sitting an introductory course to learn the
2,500-year-old Buddhist technique of “seeing things as they really are.”
Courses are offered frequently on a donation-only basis at the nearby
Northwest Vipassana Center (www.kunja.dhamma.org) near Centralia,
Wash.
Shelly is the mother of Soren, “the Energizer Bunny boy,” who was 4
when she tuned into Vipassana. She is also a journalist, publicist and blogger (www.SustainableTogether.com) who works in many ways to make this
community happier, healthier and more sustainable. She moved to Port
Townsend in 2000 and, with her husband Jeff, joined QUUF in fall 2012.

I’m speaking in a UU Fellowship! How could this have happened?
Speaker: Roger Delmar. Roger was born and raised in southern California.
Early in life he embraced an ultra-conservative brand of Christianity which
shaped his early life. During his years as a Christian missionary, his theological and personal world crumbled and collapsed. Today’s message is
the story of how he got from his ultra right wing early years to the present
as what could be described as a mystic. He is now quite at home in a liberal UU setting. It’s a unique journey through many different spiritual approaches.

Wheel of Life
Our dear Barbara Jensen died peacefully at her home this past Tuesday morning, May 27, with her
three living daughters present at her bedside. A memorial service to honor her long and rich life is
scheduled for Friday, June 6, at 2pm in our Sanctuary.
Michelle Bruns’ brother, Chris Adams, passed away Thursday, May 22, from complications of leukemia and pneumonia. He leaves a young wife and a two-year old son. Our hearts are with Michelle in
this time of loss and sorrow.
Judith Bhansali is scheduled for shoulder replacement surgery this coming Wednesday, June 4, at
the Harrison Orthopedic Hospital in Silverdale. Judith recently suffered an injury to her left rotator cuff,
which cannot be repaired.
Two QUUF families moving:
Ashnie Butler and daughter, Hope, are moving to Portland at the end of June. They have been
an integral part of QUUF for many years. Friends are hosting a good-bye party for them at QUUF on
June 7th. Gathering and games are from 4-5pm, with a 5pm potluck meal.
Carrie, Matt, Sam and Cooper Day will be moving to Bend, OR, accompanied by Carrie's mom,
Jane Kopriva. A community celebration is planned for June 8th at the Fort Worden Kitchen Shelter.
Ask Kathy Stevenson for time and details.
Both families plan to connect with the UU communities in their new homes, but both will be
very much missed at QUUF.
Final Sunday Evening Contemplative Service of the Church Year
June 1, 7:15pm A Pacific Northwest Coast story tells how once it was so dark here that the People
sent Raven to bring back light. In what ways are we called to be like Raven and bring light--within and
without? The final service of the church-year will be led by Victoria Poling and is inspired by the art
installation "Raven Brings Light to this House of Stories" at the University of Washington's Allen Library.
Held in natural light and candlelight, the core of these services is a time of shared silence, supplemented by music and readings. Members, friends, and guests are all welcome, and childcare will be
provided upon request. Email QUUF Board Member Victoria Poling at vpoling@gmail.com.
Happy Birthday to Us!
Octogenarians all, we, the undersigned, are inviting all the members of QUUF to celebrate our
birthdays at a party on Friday, June 27 from 3-5 in the Fellowship Hall. There will be coffee, tea, soft
drinks, snacks, wine, and birthday cake served. Evan Millman will be on hand to play some music for
us. Please omit gifts, but cards are welcome. In order to have enough goodies on hand, please RSVP
by phone or e-mail: Joanna England 360-385-1789, joanna@olympus.net by June 14th to let us
know if you will be joining us. And, if there are any more QUUF members who were born in 1934 and
would also like to be one of the Birthday
Honorees, contact Joanna with that
Request, too. Cheerio! Barbara Dyer, Jean Giedt, Karl Bach, David Smith, Marcia Lewton, Joanna England, Judith Specht and Beatus Meier (in absentia).

QUUF Notices
ANNOUNCING a reading to celebrate the release of Geoff Bowman's new book IN THE OCTOPUS
NURSERY. Remember the poetry you studied (and hated) in school? Well, it's not here. And the
academic poetry you tried so hard to understand? Flat out of that too. So what's left? Come and
find out on June 1st (this Sunday) at 3 PM in the Sanctuary. (Sponsored by the QUUF Poetry Circle.)
Please pick up lost items before June 8th.
Items include:
● Several jackets
● Two books A Key to Whitehead’s Process and Reality, The Bonobo and the Atheist
● A couple of travel mugs, a couple of water bottles, a hat and a cookie tin
Items will be donated to the Free Store after June 8th.
Cares and Concerns Soup (vegetarian and chicken) for QUUF Members and
Friends who are ill is available in the QUUF Freezer. Please sign the sheet on the
freezer door when you take some soup. Please return clean soup containers to the
QUUF kitchen.
The Summer QUUF Grandparents Closet is open with restrictions! Children's equipment such as
high chairs, strollers and car seats can be borrowed for use by your visiting grandchildren.
Rachelle Merle and family will be staying at the Taylor's home and can assist you when you pick up
what you need. Please bring borrowed items back to the Taylor's home so it can be used by the next
needy grandparent! Call 385-3666 or 360-765-0115 and leave a message to make arrangements
for pick-up and drop-off.
Interested in a brief foray into Safety Auditing? We're looking for 3 team members with fresh eyes
for a Safety and Risk Management Audit this July. Previous experience is welcome but not necessary.
More important is that you are keenly aware, inquisitive, a problem solver, and willing to spend a couple of hours in preparation. All the better if you are comfortable with change and able to take brief,
legible notes. You'll use a checklist and accompany an experienced auditor looking at our buildings
and grounds. The whole process will take between 5-8 hours over 3 days. This could morph into future work with QUUF Safety and Risk Management. Contact Cathe Bell at bell.cathe@gmail.com.
The QUUF Home Repair and Maintenance Corps seeks to help Members and Friends
of the Congregation with, as the name implies, minor repair and maintenance tasks
that they might not be able to do themselves. All QUUF Members and Friends are eligible to participate. Call us and we will discuss your needs with you. In many cases, we
will respond to your request ourselves. We might also refer you to a Member of the Fellowship who does for a living what you need done. Or, we might offer a referral to a
professional in the community with whom we have experience. If you want our help,
please contact David Rymph at (360) 385-7459, E-mail drymph@gmail.com or Frank
Layden (360) 379-1161, E-Mail franklaydenls@gmail.com.
Security Awareness--We are joining other Port Townsend churches in minimizing opportunities for theft by asking that
you keep your purses, bags and other valuables with you while at QUUF. Thank you.

OPENING
Sarah Hull, President of the Board of Trustees, called the meeting to order at 1:15 p.m., lit the chalice
and welcomed those attending. Donna Frostholm, Secretary, verified that the required quorum; 30%

of Religious Education, and the Choir Director; a report from the Board President; a Leadership Assembly report; the reports from QUUF Committees; and QUUF Member Statistics.

Gail Bernhard, Treasurer, reviewed the QUUF financial statements and addressed other financial issues, as presented in the Annual Report:
Final Status and Annual Review for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 (outside accounting review completed in
May 2013);
Current Fiscal Year (2012-2013) Status (consolidated balance sheet, current assets by fund, income

RECOGNITION
While the ballots were being counted, Sarah Hull recognized Committee Chairs and out-going members of the Board (Gail Bernhard and Donna Frostholm).
NEW BUSINESS
While the ballots were being counted, Sarah opened the meeting up for congregational input. Karl
Bach said that he was wanted an American flag in the Fellowship. Several people at the meeting provided follow up comments, some in support and some against having a flag at QUUF. It was determined that a quorum was no longer present, so Sarah said that the Board would take another look at
this issue.
ELECTION RESULTS
A simple majority was needed to approve the slate of candidates and the operating budget, while a
two-thirds majority was needed to pass the by-laws change. The election results were given to Sarah,
who announced that all of the candidates for the Board, the Nominating Committee, and the Endowment Committee were approved (with each receiving at least 149 votes), that the by-laws revision had
passed (141 yes votes and 10 abstaining or invalid votes), and that the Operating Budget had been
approved (145 yes votes and 6 abstaining or invalid votes).
CLOSING
After the election results were read, Sarah closed the meeting and extinguished the chalice at 2:45
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Donna Frostholm, Board Secretary

Summer A-HA!
AHA! (Agnostics, Humanists & Atheists)
SUMMER A-HA! will continue to meet on the
first and third Sundays of June, July, and August. The A-HA! summer format takes advantage of the light and also becomes 'lite'. What
do we mean by that?
1) We will meet from 5-6:30 because we'd
like to play or garden longer in the summer afternoons. We will NOT have a potluck dinner.
2) There will be no formal presentation. Instead, we will announce a topic in advance for
each session. From there it will be an open
mike format during the discussion.
3) We will continue to meet in the Fellowship Hall from 5-6:30 on the first and 3rd Sundays of the month.
4) The discussion topic for June 1 will be:
"What does it take to make you feel secure?"
with the corollary question: "What is your relationship to money?"
5) The discussion topic for June 15 will be:
"How green are you willing to be?" with the corollary question: "Who is responsible for green
energy?".
Buddhist Morning Meditation
Join us on Friday mornings at 9:00 AM in the
Den for 20 minutes of silent meditation followed by a short dharma lesson and discussion. These nonsectarian peer-led sessions are
open to anyone, whether experienced meditators or just curious about Buddhist meditation
in a group setting at QUUF. There is no need to
sign up - just show up. For further information,
contact Katie Atwood at moonoverhawaii@gmail.com or 719-371-0402.

QUUF BULLETIN BOARD FOR MEMBERS & FRIENDS
QUUF Members and Friends may email personal announcements to the QUUF office for inclusion
on the Bulletin Board page of the QUUF Weekly Update. We will make every effort to post your announcement, as space allows. New announcements will take priority over announcements that have
already run for several issues. Please understand that we cannot run announcements indefinitely.
Please email your announcement to quuf@olympus.net by Thursday of each week.
From Cherri Mann: Surprise! I am flying to Madrid (Camino) on Wednesday...take train to Leon
where I am hoping to rendezvous with Nancy and Abby for the last 200 miles of trip! If I don't meet
up with them, then...I will have a very interesting trip! I did sent them an e-mail...On May 3lst I'll start
the trek and fly home with Nancy on June 27th. Tons of details to work out with my mother but we
finally did it! Can't wait to find spirit...and give spirit. I am taking a rock in the shape of a heart...very
special rock...Celeste Dybeck gave me because I asked for something from her that could be blessed
along the way - (rock is light!)...I am walking for cancer and diabetes! Hugs, Cherri
Nancy Richards updated her status: "We are now in San Nicolas del Real Camino. Rained yesterday but we were cosy and dry in raingear. On our way to Leon, this cafe-bar has a sign that says 369
km to Santiago. We expect to arrive in Leno on June 1. Big cities are not our favorites. Hard walking
on asphalt and slow going. I take lots of photos along the way of everything, but the varied fields of
grains and flowers are my favorite. Lots of photos with Abby on the senda (trail) and of the camino
markers with 3 stones on top representing Larry, Nina and my friend Brenda."
Honorable PT community member is looking for a room or ADU for rent. Could also do House/ Pet
Sitting. Would love to pay all or some of the cost by running errands/ chores etc. I am a quiet and
clean person who loves music, pets and plants. Presently working for an Art Gallery in PT. Excellent
references. Call Pilar Grau at 360-390-8689.
My sister, her husband and her new baby are visiting from NYC this summer for the month of August. They are looking for an affordable vacation rental for the month - ideally with 2 bedrooms. They
can pet-sit as well! A friend is joining them the second week of August: He works for a non-profit in
Bangladesh so he's on a very tight budget, and he is mobility-impaired. Any suggestions for a monthlong 2-bedroom rental, and a week-long accessible rental/guest lodging would be very appreciated! Contact Kim Brooks kimjoy8705@hotmail.com.
