Extended Family groups — an intergenerational program
2004 UUCB Extended Family Group form
for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley
An Extended Family Group is an intergenerational group of people who commit themselves to sharing a meal once a month for a year. The goal is to open up new contacts with people of all ages at UUCB simply by sitting down together for a meal, and socializing informally.
Extended Family Groups will consist of 12 to 20 people. Ministers and lay leaders will assign people to an Extended Family Group based on this form. All meals will be "potluck," that is, each person will bring food to share with the rest of the Group. You are asked to make a formal commitment to attend Extended Family Group meetings monthly for a year.
Preferred meeting times: Please tell us which meeting time is best. Mark your best time with a "1," second best with a "2," and third best with a "3." If there's a meeting time you cannot make, please mark it with an "X."
