UUWF Notes
Our next luncheon will be held on Saturday, February 18, at 11:30. I think you will find this program interesting. You may all have eaten at Rancho de Chimayo. Our next speaker is Joseph Sisneros, a descendant of the Jaramillo family who came to New Mexico in the 1600s, ultimately settling in what is now Chimayo. Rancho de Chimayo is the ancestral home of his family.
Joseph will tell us about growing up in that area, moving away, and the diversions he took before settling there again. He went to college in Rome, Italy, and it was there that he developed a passion for art – specifically for Native American art. He will bring pottery pieces from some of the best potters in history. Q and A period after the program. See you there!

About Santa Fe UUWF
Our UUWF in Santa Fe is one of the largest and most active groups in the country and we invite all women to attend our monthly meetings and find out why!
Most importantly, we want to get to know you. And our informal, friendly luncheons held every third Saturday from September to May provide and enhance such an opportunity. Each month these meals--preceded by a social gathering-- are home-cooked and served by various UUWF members (everyone volunteers!) and then followed by a brief business meeting and a program.
We also have an annual weekend retreat, usually held at Ghost Ranch in May, and focusing on a particular topic of interest. This is a perfect chance to get better acquainted and share with compatible women as we learn and hike together, as well as relax and enjoy nature's lovely setting.
Being a member of the UUCSF does not make you a member of UUWF. We are affiliated with both the congregation and the national UUWF organization. That group receives a portion of our $20 annual dues (due by November) and provides support to women’s causes at a more expansive level than we might offer at home. Here in Santa Fe, however, we make a yearly substantial monetary donation to several community programs which help women. In addition, we provide a Christmas gift directed to local shelters for women and their children.
On top of our dues, our monthly meeting fee is $7.00 for members and $9.00 for guest. This covers the cost of the meal, program and annual gifts to charity.
All women and their guests are welcome at our meetings, regardless of UUWF/UUCSF membership. We hope to see YOU at our next meeting!
THE VP (vagina-penis) DIALOGUES is “Just Say NO!” Enough to Know? Welcome to a performance piece THE VP (vagina-penis) DIALOGUES. From the overture written by Santa Fe’s Alice Ladas, - co-author of The G Spot, the performance is both entertaining and educational, illustrating the universal questions about our two favorite anatomical parts. This piece is all about questions. Audience members are invited to write their own questions, which will be answered in the after-show talkback. What have you always wanted to ask and not had a safe place?
