From the UU Women's Federation website:
"UUWF is a continental membership organization working to advance justice for women through education and advocacy. It is an independent non-profit organization and one of only three associate member organizations of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Interitor of a proud tradition, it was formed in 1963 through consolidation of the Association of Universalist Women (founded in 1869) and the Alliance of Unitarian Women (1890). It is financed through member dues, interest from endowment, and donations."

Various topic groups will be formed under the Women's Alliance umbrella, as there is interest.

One topic group already meeting is a needlework group, known as Those Liberal Sew and Sew's. It meets the first Wednesday of every month on Chalice Night and is open to all folks interested in any kind of needlework.

Two other topic groups are in the works. All topic groups are advertised in the Steepletalk and on the List Serve.

Membership in the Women's Alliance is open to all women connected to First Unitarian Church, members and friends and newcomers. Alliance dues are $10.00 per year. Membership in the continental UU Women's Federation is available at a reduced price for Alliance members.
