A memorial service and celebration of David Demere’s life will be held next Saturday, November 20th at 11:00 at the First Church in Belfast, 8 Court Street. There will be a potluck luncheon immediately after the service, followed by a contra dance. David’s sons Seth and Tyler will provide the music, with Chrissy Fowler calling the dances. This was all carefully planned by David, who wanted to be sure that his service included joyfulness and dancing in community.
The UU Church is organizing the potluck luncheon. In David’s spirit, we encourage people to consider hearty dishes made with local foods, if possible.* Mini-quiches and easy to eat items are welcomed too, as some folks will likely be sitting, and others milling around snacking. Please email Chris LeGore (legore@maine.edu) for ideas on what to bring, or to let her know what dish you are making, so we can be sure to have a good variety of foods for David’s celebration. Dishes can be dropped off before the service in the upstairs Parish Hall, or in the fellowship hall immediately behind the sanctuary. Please arrive a few minutes early if you are bringing food so the food organizers can join us in the service. Hot things can be kept warm in an oven, and there is room for crockpots to be plugged in.
If you are traveling a long way, or not able to bring food, that's fine. There will be plenty, so please join us for lunch.
* If you make a dish without dairy, wheat, beef or corn, please label it as such, so that Tara and Cameron can enjoy your dish.
Thanks all!! See you Saturday!
