Following are recent UUCNH announcements:

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Changes at Loleta Campground Proposed: The Allegheny National Forest has done a facility analysis and has proposed changes to Loleta Campground, where UUCNH uses the group site for our annual camping trip. These changes, for a future date (not this year) would result in the closing of the bathhouse and eliminate piped in water. (No hot showers or flush toilets.) The ANF struggles with managing recreation with limited dollars. For more information, see the Allegheny National Forest website and click on “Recreation Facility Analysis.” The public comment period ends on July 28^th. This will not affect our trip planned for August 6 to 10, but could in the future. Kathy Miller

Choose Your Coffee Hour Sunday for Next Year: A sign-up sheet has been placed on an easel in Friendship Hall at the doorway near the stairs so that you can choose your Sunday to host coffee hour during the upcoming church year. This is a great way to contribute to an important part of our church community! Thanks for doing your part.

UUCNH Camping Trip The Allegheny National Forest has been reserved for the annual UUCNH camping trip, which will be held from August 6^th through August 10^th.
