Columbus Day weekend at Ferry Beach-

The best start for the FUUSN year! Meet new friends, meet old friends, connect and get into the spirit of the new FUUSN year!

If you’re new to FUUSN, have you heard about Ferry Beach yet? Here’s all you need to know: We all head up to the beach in Maine to spend that weekend together.

What’s the place like? Ferry Beach is a small UU conference center on a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach in Maine. It’s a collection of rustic, wood-frame buildings from the last century, most have been renovated! The main

building has a lobby with a fireplace and comfy chairs and a wrap-around porch that faces the ocean. There is a huge dining room with a nice big porch where we share catered meals.

Who should go? Families, singles, couples, empty-nesters, parents of adolescents wanting a weekend away, parents of young children wanting someone to take a turn holding the baby—we all seem to blend in a sweet, amicable, pleasant way. Many important friendships begin at Ferry Beach.

What do we do? Some of us stay put at the beach, playing volleyball, tennis, basketball or creating arts and crafts all weekend. Others of us go out to the museums in Portland, apple picking, on environmental ecology trips, kayaking or to the outlets for shopping. We applaud amateurs at the Saturday night talent– no talent show and just generally get to know one another, share meals, share parenting, and have a wonderful time.

It’s the best way to connect with the community! If you have questions, call Chris O’Donnell at (781)-392-9238 or email him at FUUSN.ferrybeach@gmail.com . The sign-up form is on the other side of this sheet, online or available from Fran. Mail it back ASAP, space is limited!
