Speaker: Katy O'Malley Bunder

Topic: Non-Toxic Charities

In recent years, there has been a trend to label some

charities “toxic” implying that they discourage able-

bodied people from seeking employment and

becoming self-sufficient. Katy Bunder, Food Finders

CEO, will discuss the myths and realities of this

theory and offer advice on differentiating between a

toxic and non-toxic charity.

I have a great sense of gratitude for the response

from this group of people who give peace and song

in the face of hate and anger.

“Returning hate for hate only multiplies hate, adding

deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can

do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do

that.” Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with

the world. To make peace possible for the world, and

to make happiness possible for the world.” Thick

Nhat Hanh

how you can't

take back the

things you say.

I’ll be absent this Sunday because I’m attending

OWL (Our Whole Lives) training in Chicago. Have

you heard about our OWL program? Here’s some

more information:

OWL is a comprehensive sexual education program

that spans all ages. All facilitators are trained through

the UUA to provide interactive workshops and

lessons to engage participants. Some of the many

benefits include:

• providing honest and accurate information

• dismantling stereotypes and assumptions

• building self-acceptance and self-esteem

• fostering healthy relationships

• improving decision making

We are hoping to offer OWL to grades 10-12 in

spring of 2018 and grades 7-9 in spring of 2019. We

are currently in the process of looking for more

training opportunities for grades k-6 so that we may,

once again, offer the K-6 OWL program.
