The Social Action Committee (SAC)continues to support Mercy Seat and Sharing House in their continued effort to provide services for residents of our community in need of assistance.

In late 2006, the SAC invited other UUTC members to join in a taskforce to explore and advocate for a living wage in Transylvania County. This will be ongoing in 2007.

Peacemaking activities, such as sponsoring films and speakers, is an ongling action for our committee.

Beginning in Fall 2007, the Social Action Committee will encourage members and friends to create Task Groups around issues they have a personal interest in addressing. Task Groups will consist of some members and/or friends of the congregation who feel strongly enough about an issue that they are willing to make a commitment to take action. Individuals seeking to form a Task Group will complete an application and submit it to the SAC Chairperson. Task Groups may apply to the SAC for limited funding or other support to carry out activities involving the UUTC congregation and/or the larger community.

Do you have an issue you’d like to work on in the coming year? Do you know of organizations in Brevard that you’d like to be more regularly involved with and that other folks at UUTC might be interested in working with? The Social Action Committee would love to hear your ideas. Download a Task Group Application form where you can detail what you’d like to do.
