SUMMARY:Trinity River Talk for World Rivers Day with Amy Martin
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 28th\, 2 – 3:30 pm\nFirst Unitarian of Dallas\n4015 Normandy Ave\, Dallas\, TX 75205 \nTrinity River Talk for World Rivers Day with Amy Martin\nFollowed by a discussion with Rich Grayson & Fouad Jaber \nSponsored by First Church’s Climate Action Team and Ned Fritz Legacy. \nThe Trinity River: The Watery Tie that Binds North Texas \nThere is only one river in North Texas: the Trinity. Once rejected and forgotten\, paid attention to only when it floods\, the Trinity is transforming from a place of refuse to refuge. \nWe’ll take a tour of the Trinity’s four forks—Clear\, East\, Elm\, and West—exploring each one’s unique characteristics\, plus the nature preserves and attractions they are home to. This riverine network is home to the Trinity River Paddling Trail https://trinitycoalition.org/paddling-trail/\, a National Park Service recreation trail with over 120 miles of floating fun. \nThe talk concludes with a brief overview of our river follies\, including the time when the West Fork was known as the River of Death\, the misguided attempts to turn it into a barge canal that was thwarted by Ned Fritz https://nedfritz.com/\, and the absurd idea to place a freeway in its floodplain\, which took over a decade to be abandoned. Yet there are more Trinity indignities in the works. \nIn celebration of World Rivers Day\, after the talk Amy will moderate a discussion with Rich Grayson of the Texas Rivers Protection Association https://txrivers.org and Texas Stream Team https://www.meadowscenter.txst.edu/…/texasstreamteam.html/\, and Fouad Jaber\, professor of biological and agricultural engineering at Texas A&M University. Both are members of First Unitarian of Dallas\, as was Ned Fritz. \nPhoto by Daniel Koglin.

SUMMARY:Why Are You You? Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 28 | 6:00 pm\nFirst Unitarian Church of Dallas\nREGISTER IN REALM\n\n \n\nJoin First Unitarian Church of Dallas for a screening and discussion of Why Are You You?\, a feature documentary exploring the history and lasting impact of the Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU).\n\n \n\nWhy Are You You? traces the story of YRUU\, a UU youth movement founded in 1983 where adolescents were encouraged to discover their authentic selves\, build beloved community\, and work for justice in the world. In this film\, former participants reflect forty years later on how their YRUU experiences shaped who they became and how they still show up in the world today.\n\n \n\nThis special screening is timed to honor a meaningful piece of local UU history: for many years\, First Unitarian Church of Dallas hosted a district-wide youth conference\, or “youth rally\,” that brought YRUU youth together from across the region. We invite current congregants\, friends\, and especially those who grew up in YRUU (or its predecessor LRY) to join us for this special night.\n\n \n\nMike Alves\, who grew up in YRUU here in Texas and whose daughter Phoebe also graduated from YRUU\, is curating a collection of YRUU photos and mementos to share at the event and is welcoming submissions from the wider community. If you have photos\, memorabilia\, or stories you’d like to contribute\, please send them to yruudoc@gmail.com.\n\n \n\nWhether you’re reconnecting with a formative chapter of your life or discovering this history for the first time\, we hope you’ll join us for this meaningful screening and conversation.
