Last Saturday, March 22, UUC welcomed Tent City 3 (TC3). We are sharing our parking lot with them for the next four months, through July 26. There are currently 75 in the TC3 community, including families, individuals, couples, a few dogs and a cat named Heather. During the move, Rev. Doug stopped out with his dog Moo, and he indicated that Moo and Heather are becoming fast friends!

Saturday's move from UW to UUC went well, with a bit of sun and lots of volunteers on hand to help the TC3 community with this big job. In total, 57 from UUC were involved on Saturday:

• Contributing food so that sack lunches could be delivered midday during the move
• Baking muffins and delivering fruit so that we could provide a continental breakfast last Sunday morning
• 30 helped with the move, with 10 helping pack up at UW and 20 showing up to help unload and set-up at UUC

Parking on Sunday morning seemed to be available for both services. Many walked 1-2 blocks, some biked and others used public transit. There were plenty of spaces for those in our community with more limited ability. If you would like more details about parking, you can find them on UUC's Tent City 3 webpage here. In the FAQ section on parking on that webpage, you'll find a parking map too.
