Waldo's presents: Local Singer/Songwriters in the RoundUnder this roof, a diverse crowd gathers, each of us on our own unique journey. Someseek to find their connection to that which is greater through art or music. Others mayconnect through a spiritual discipline or endeavor. Yet, others find their connection to

that which is greater through Social Action. Whatever it is that draws us together, weall affirm to serve others in community. and sometimes those far outside ourcommunity, our world community.

Improving the lives of women and children is the best way to increase the quality of lifein a village and in a country. Due to our efforts in 2012, the small village of Dengolt,Ethiopia has clean water. This year, we set out to do it again. Working with Water ToThrive, UUFW will break ground in another village in the same Tigre region of Africa.Providing fresh drinking water for a village allows the girls of the tribe to attend school,

and the potential of water-borne diseases is drastically reduced.

On October 4th, Waldos Coffeehouse will kick off our 2013 Water Well Fund Drivewith a fantastic live music line-up. Mark your calendars for an opportunity to make achange for the better, right around the corner in a village in Africa.
