Women's Society December Luncheon

On December 18, the Women’s Society has invited Zach Carr to entertain us. His voice is rich, warm, and spectacular, so much so that he has been awarded Best Male Vocalist by Jazz Buffalo for two years in a row. He has received a standing ovation at every concert he has performed for us, and we expect you’ll join in at our gathering.

Reservations for lunch are $20 for members and $25 for those who are not yet members. The program is free for members and only $5 for non-members. Zach will entertain us with a wonderful playlist of selections from the Great American Songbook, along with a seasonal surprise or two.

We hope you’ll join us for lunch, but if time, schedules, or holiday budgets get in the way, please join us for $5, sit back, and enjoy the show.

Women's Society

Founded 150 years ago to promote fellowship and cooperation among our members and to sustain interest in Unitarian Universalist ideals, the Society remains a vital, active force in the contemporary life of the church. Membership in the Society is open to all and is gender-neutral. Dues are $25 per year, but membership is not necessary to participate in our activities and programs.

Our Speaker/Luncheon Series programs are diverse, stimulating, and interesting, ranging from musical entertainment to lectures from well-known local authors and academics, to presentations on area issues and civic concerns. Presenters are knowledgeable, personable, and enjoyable. Additionally, the Society organizes two outings each year: The Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario, Canada, and one other to a local site of interest to our membership. See announcements of upcoming events in the E-Blast (weekly newsletter) and the Monthly Newsletter.

A Memorial Service Reception may be available in our Parish Hall to UUCB members for a nominal fee.
