UU Alliance
The UU Alliance provides opportunities for friendship, personal and spiritual development, and service. It welcomes all women and men. Meetings are held at 1pm on the second Wednesday of the month, September through May, with a summer picnic. Members share friendship at meals followed by programs of general interest. The UU Alliance of Madison is affiliated with the UU Women's Federation at the district and national levels. The Madison group was formed in 1884. A newsletter is published three times a year and is available in the Meeting House Lobby or online. The Madison Unitarian newsletter also reports upcoming programs.
The UU Alliance does collect annual dues to cover program expenses and charitable giving. The dues should be paid by October 31 for your name to be included on the annual membership list. Contributions can also be made to the district and national organizations. More information about the dues and contributions is available here.
