Women's Society News
THE SHAW FESTIVAL - Theatre-goers: We are sorry to inform you that we have had to cancel the June 16 date of “Gypsy” that our Women’s Society had booked. The Shaw Festival has cancelled all performances through June 30. Due to the many unknowable factors, we are not rescheduling a play for the rest of this season.
Please join us as we look forward to a marvelous play in the spring of 2021.

About the 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 $20 per year, but membership is not necessary to participate in our activities and programs.
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.
