We Did a Thing!

Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting

“We Did a Thing!” 3915 people attended this year’s virtual version of our annual UUA General Assembly!  Come and hear from Rev. Karen (and maybe other Reeb attendees) some impressions and reflections on the experience.

  • Madison Adaptive Cycling is a Madison-based non-profit project started by one of our members, Brian McNurlen. Their goal is to provide an outdoor adaptive cycling experience for differently-abled individuals of all ages. Regular participation in cycling can lead to improved physical health and mental well-being, greater independence, and a sense of belonging to a larger community. Cycling, particularly tandem cycling, gives differently-abled people a chance to engage with others. Donations will be used to purchase one or possibly two cycles that will be available for use by anyone wanting to use them.
