Concert: “Facing Death, Celebrating Life” with Bill Cohen
With piano and guitar, Bill Cohen sings songs about many aspects of death: violence, loss, acceptance, and memories. The songs are linked to a wide variety of performers — Pete Seeger, John Prine, Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Phil Ochs, the New Christy Minstrels, Shel Silverstein, the Kingston Trio, and others. Free admission, but donations will be appreciated. The Funeral Consumers Alliance of Central Ohio urges people to pre-plan their funerals, so their families won’t be subject to emotional and financial manipulation in their vulnerable time of grieving.

Columbus Immigrant Transit Assistance (Cbus ITA)
Volunteers organizing to greet immigrant families traveling through Columbus via Greyhound bus. We have heard that people are being put onto buses without their cell phones, their shoe laces taken away, and without food or money or clothing. These are families, often with small children. There is a great need and Columbus volunteers are helping.

If you are interested in connecting with this group, visit and ask to join the Cbus ITA Facebook page. You may say you heard about it through First UU.

Cbus ITA is inviting everyone to support and donate supplies for the immigrants passing through Columbus.

• Supply donations: use boxes in the cloakroom. If you bring supplies, please sign the sheet on the clipboard, so we can thank you for your donation.
• Cash donations: UU Justice Ohio’s fund for Cbus ITA supplies, click here.
• Volunteer Greeters: sign up to go to the bus depot to greet families at Cbus ITA Depot Volunteers Facebook page.
• Bagging Party: you can sign up on the Cbus ITA Facebook pageto help bag donated supplies.
