CUUB Disc Golf
Saturday October 17th 3 PM
The disc golf course through CUUB's woods is alway open to play but this Saturday we are gathering to practice (3 PM) & play (4 PM) a few rounds with the intention of getting enough interest to starting "league" play.
We are not sure how this will turn out but envision playing each week (yes you can play in the winter) to get out for some exercise, sanity & comradery. If you are interested but cannot join us on Saturday send a email to mensgroup@cuub.org or text Don at 586-491-7223
This is an activity for all members, friends, visitors, and families, so hopefully we will have enough interest to make this happen.

SJ Team to Sponsor ERACCE Workshop
Wednesday, October 28th & Thursday, October 29th from 3-6 pm
Our Social Justice Team is hard at work making CUUB the place to be for effective action on important issues.
Past activities included a 2017 partnering with other organizations to hold the Love Rally at the mill pond to stand against hate and white supremacy & recently we participated in the Brighton Allies for Racial Justice vigil. Now CUUB SJ is hosting an online workshop for individuals and organizations across Livingston County.
This will be via Zoom on Wednesday, October 28th & Thursday, October 29th from 3-6 pm. The goals are twofold: for individuals to deepen their understanding of systemic racism, and to strengthen connections between organizations in Livingston County through a shared experience.
The workshop will be facilitated by the Kalamazoo based group, ERACCE (Eliminating Racism and Creating/Celebrating Equity) which was founded in 2000 to help individuals and institutions understand the root causes of U.S. racism and develop strategies for dismantling systemic racism, specifically within our own organizations where we have the most impact.
So please mark your calendar TODAY and more information will be made available soon. If you have any questions on this or other SJ activities please please email Alicia Zemper at aliciazemper@gmail.com. Click here to register.
