SMUUF Donate-the-Plate for July: San Marcos River Foundation

The San Marcos River Foundation (SMRF) has been an annual recipient for SMUUF's Donate-the-Plate collection for many years.

SMRF's Executive Director, Virginia Condie, visited our Zoom Worship Service on Sunday, July 11 to give us an update on SMRF.

SMRF was established in 1985 to protect public access and preserve the San Marcos River, focusing on protecting the flow from aquifer-fed springs, improving the water quality and protecting the beauty of the area with parks and annual clean-ups, and more.

Please give generously to the San Marcos River Foundation in the month of July. Go to smuuf.org/giving and click on Donate to SMUUF, then click on Donations and select Donate the Plate.

Joys and Concerns

- SMUUF Social Justice Donations on Behalf of Jesse McJohnson

SMUUF Member Jeannie Lewis' son Jesse McJohnson died unexpectedly in his sleep on May 30, 2021. Since then, donations totaling $320 have been made in Jesse's name to the SMUUF Social Justice Contingency Fund. Jesse was a strong advocate for social justices cause in the world. He kept up on all the news and engaged in frequent discussions about social justice issues with family and friends. This is a fitting tribute to Jesse's memory. If you would like to donate to the SMUUF Social Justice Contingency Fund for Jesse, write a check to SMUUF, PO Box 1053, San Marcos, TX 78667 and write Social Justice Contingency Fund for Jesse on the memo line. You may also donate online using Tithe.ly, just choose "Donation" and in the memo field include "Social Justice Contingency Fund for Jesse."

- Sarah Wren is healing from her surgery and wants to express her appreciation for the many acts of kindness she is receiving from her SMUUF family.

- Thank you so much to all the packers, planners, movers, stackers, researchers, donation deliver drivers, vacuumers , cleaners, and oh so much more… y’all rocked the house! We are so blessed and lucky to call you friend. Thank you again for your time! - Teresa Smetzer

Donate the Plate gives to Indigenous Cultures Institute

Maria Rocha and Dr. Mario Garza, directors of the Indigenous Cultures Institute, share this letter of appreciation for the SMUUF Donate the Plate in May.

Dear Fellowship Members:

We check our post office box infrequently because of habits formed during the pandemic. And as they
say, imagine our surprise to see your donation of $475.00. This generous contribution is far beyond what could possibly be expected during such difficult times. Your members have been so very kind to us all these year; thank you so much for this donation. We are so grateful for our relationship with your Fellowship.
As you know, our shortfall for this year’s Indigenous Arts Summer Encounter was huge and all of our efforts turned to raising money for our students’ week-long experience to learn about their Native culture, which has been erased from history books and school curriculum. And thanks to groups like your Fellowship, we were able to raise enough money to fully fund this most critical program. 

Thank you for this most generous donation, for your relationship with our Indigenous community, and the support you lend to the work we do for our children. May we all fare well in this new future that shines before us with enormous potential, a world of peace and justice. Please see us as friends upon whom you may call if you ever need our help and support.

Sewing Guild Work Continues

To date, the sewing group has finished 1,051 quilts and is busy working on more!Recently the SMUUF sewing group sent 30 quilts to the Catholic Charities Respite Center in McAllen, Texas. Victoria Salinas (pictured), a co-worker of SMUUF member Alex Mylius, delivered the quilts.

Thanks for Generous Donations to the D-T-P Contingency Fund in April

We were so pleased to receive a total of $750 to our Donate-the-Plate Contingency Fund in the moth of April. This will allow SMUUF to respond quickly to immediate community needs. This is a big part of our mission as a beloved community!

April was originally scheduled to Donate-the-Plate to Texas UU Justice Ministry (TXUUJM) when the Executive Director, Rev Chuck Freeman, was due to be our Worship speaker. But health issues prevented him from attending our Zoom service, so we asked for donations to our newly-formed D-T-P Contingency Fund. When Chuck can return to speak to us, we will collect for TXUUJM at that time.

We appreciate the generous contributions from our SMUUF congregation!

SMUUF Lot Cleanup Crew Achieves Great Results

Jon Cradit and Joel Johnson sent out a call for SMUUF volunteers to help clean up our recently acquired adjoining lot on our Craddock Avenue church property on Monday, April 19, starting at 5:00 p.m. A wonderful hard-working crew showed up and got right to work — Gil Fulmer, Rhoda Sterling, Teresa Smetzer, Mike Russett, Barbara Jacobson, Nancy Russell, Jordan Buckley, Chris Gardner, Jeffery Latimer and leaders Jon Cradit and Joel Johnson.

The lot is in needed a lot of work. It has a dilapidated house that we will need to hire a professional crew to demolish and remediate the property. But we needed a SMUUF crew to first pick up odd pieces of junk. We needed to get stuff out of the way to allow easier access for the professional crew to get to the old house.

The work was mostly picking up odd pieces of junk that were scattered about the ground, and cutting back some of the cane. Everything was staged on-site behind the old carport so it can be hauled off when the house is razed.

The work team filled trash into four rolling trash cans and a couple of smaller ones, disposed of a kids' wading pool, hauled out three refrigerators and one water heater from the house, and cut a big stack of cane. Joel has already contacted someone and they have hauled off the appliances and large scrap metal. Wow! What a team!

One of the workers, Jordan Buckley, expressed the experience this way: "It was a lot of fun, and wonderful to see so many dear souls –– plus, a long-held vision of a space of our own is unmistakably taking root! Hoping it is one of many more outdoor, socially-spaced events we might be able to occasionally hold on our congregation's land in months ahead."

Jordan continued, "Envisioning what may become on this parcel of land (with so many food-bearing trees, from pecan to mulberry to loquat!) –– particularly with the synergy of so many folks' contributions –– was down right inspiring! Thanks to those who planned it and could take part :)"

All help was greatly appreciated. Understandably, everyone was too busy to take photos!

Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office Meeting – May 2021

These UU@UNO minutes from this week's meeting might help our congregation learn more about the UU@UNO. We welcome another person becoming an Envoy to the UNO. SMUUF Members Jeannie Lewis and Becky Allen are Envoys representing SMUUF at the UU Office at the United Nations. Below is the latest news from the UN.

A few days ago we recognized the one-year anniversary of the killing of George Floyd. The response last year calling for justice was global, with a resolution passed in June 2020 at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva about "Promotion and protection of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Africans and of people of African descent against excessive use of force and other human rights violations by law enforcement officers."

This resolution included a request for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, to include updates on police brutality against Africans and people of African descent in all her oral updates to the Human Rights Council, which she has been doing.

Increased attention to this issue is critical - and not enough. As part of their efforts to move global police forces towards more accountability and demilitarization, the UUA Office at the United Nations is working to make sure that murders at the hands of police are recognized as one of many forms of "extrajudicial killings" condemned by the United Nations. Read more about this effort on the UUA International Blog.

4. Economic Justice
5. Voting Rights

After the results of the November elections and we see more clearly the makeup of the legislature we will begin to plot strategies on our top issues.

We WILL Bend Texas and America Toward Justice Together!

Donate-the-Plate Recipients for 2021

Automate Your Pledge

Tired of writing checks for your pledges? There are three ways you can avoid check writing, and never miss a monthly gift.

1. If your bank has bill pay, you can set up an automatic monthly check to SMUUF directly from your bank. It's simple, and it costs you and SMUUF nothing, it should be a free service if offered by your bank.
2. You can authorize a regular withdrawal (known as ACH) directly from your bank to ours.
3. You can authorize a regular charge on a credit card that SMUUF can process.

For the latter two options, use our donation app to set up recurring payments either by credit card or direct deposit. It's painless!

Join the SMUUF Social Justice Action Alert Team

Jeannie Lewis, SMUUF Social Justice Chair, maintains a Social Justice Action Alert Email Distribution List to communicate with SMUUF members and friends who have volunteered to receive notices of social justice opportunities in our community. This is an invitation for you to sign up to receive those notices. An email may be sent out once a week or even less often, so there is not a flood of emails sent out.

Most opportunities are in our community or can be done from home. Examples are monitoring (at home) phone calls about homelessness; phone calls, emails, or post cards to the Legislature and other entities to advocate for social justice issues; attending social justice Zoom meetings on local homelessness, Interfaith coalitions performing area social justice work, and other Zoom meetings; and several other area opportunities.

By signing up to be on the email distribution list, you are not obligated to volunteer for any activity, but it will help to keep you informed of some of the needs in our community. To be added to the SMUUF Social Action Alert Team Email Distribution List, send your name, your email address, and your phone number to Jeannie Lewis at This email address is being protected from spambots.
