Though we would be among the first to admit we were “gala-production- newbies,” we were thrilled with your response and the outcome of last Friday’s “1st Annual” UU FaithAction Eco Gala fundraiser!
Sold out a month in advance – 135 tickets!–nearly all of our 21 UU congregations in New Jersey were represented during the celebration of a decade of social justice ministry. What an outpouring of support! Volunteers from throughout the organization helped to turn Beacon’s Fellowship Hall into a gala-worthy space, featuring a slide show photo review of some of the justice highlights over the last 10 years, live music and song by singer/songwriter, John DeMasi, (Dorothea Dix UU/Bordentown) and an amazing Indonesian and Eritrean buffet dinner provided by the skilled chefs of Global Grace Cafe in Highland Park.
