January 6 – THE VALUE OF GRATITUDE    How do you view the experiences of your life?  Do you kvetch more than appreciate?  When we actually express gratitude we activate the part of the brain that floods the body with feel-good hormones.  Penny Hendricks will present this simple way to give a positive tweak to our attitude. 

January 13 SBUF POTLUCK AND WHITE ELEPHANT PARTY   2 pm. RSVP to Eric LaStrada. Bring a wrapped gift. No meeting at Mathews Cottage.

 January 20 – waiting for a title. UU Rev. Jon Dobrer, a Starr King and Theological Union graduate, served the UU Church in Fullerton from 1993-2014 retiring in June after 45 years in the ministry.  Jon continues teaching, doing columns for newsgroups, newspapers and writing about our world.  We welcome Jon again.  Penny will moderate.
