Watch the Golden Globes with Bill and Marjorie
Invalid Image LinkSold
Invalid Image Link
Prepare for the Oscars! Prepare for the Emmys! Eight lucky people will watch the GOLDEN GLOBES at the home of Bill Irons and Margie Rogasner. Then, as if we were the decision-makers from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in Los Angeles, we will have a lovely buffet dinner, complete with wine and desserts. After our food and libations, and after many, of what I am sure will be, lively deliberations, we will each pick our favorites from the Press Associations' selections. The Golden Globes are NOT a reference to those of us of a certain age! Rather they are a reference to the trophies given for what many are calling a Golden Age of Television, as well as for those movies likely to be nominated for Academy Awards. There will be prizes given for many things. There will be angry discussions about the winners. There will be tears of joy about the successful underdogs. There will be jibes for the ridiculous clothes and speeches. For sure: It is much more fun to watch together, especially is you watch the nominated movies first! List of nominees will be provided ahead of the event so that you can be well prepared. 8 -3 000035.0 35 .00025E7 25 1/5/20 5:30 PM

Midwinter Break and Super Bowl Party in Tucson
Invalid Image LinkSold
Invalid Image Link
Join the UCE-ers who have migrated to the desert sun for the Superbowl LIV weekend. Four nights’ stay around Superbowl weekend (Jan 30-Feb 3) for 1 or 2 people in scenic and sunny Tucson. Tucson boasts mountains on all sides, great restaurants (Tucson was named the first UNESCO city of gastronomy in the US), unique museums and galleries, fabulous hiking, birding and stargazing, and a national park. Stay with former UCE members Lois and John Heimbaugh in their beautiful hot tub-equipped mountain-view home. They will offer you bed and breakfast, with your choice of a queen bedroom or a twin bedroom, either has its own bath. Please note that they have a cat. On Sunday, you may choose to join them at services at the Unitarian Church of Tucson in the morning and then it's on to UCE members Barb and Bob Seyfried’s for their annual Superbowl party later in the day. For the other days, Susan Comstock and Marc Rolfes will help you decide on your choices of the myriad of local activities to ensure you have a great time with good logistics, and host you to a lunch and a dinner as well as accompany you on some of your outings if desired.

The winners are responsible for their own plane tickets (nonstop flights to Tucson are available on American, United and Southwest, or you can fly to Phoenix 2 hrs away). We can provide some transportation plus Uber is available, but a rental car is generally easiest. Tucson is also a good jumping off point for visiting other places in southern Arizona, if you wish to make this part of a longer trip.

Rosemary Zwick Framed Watercolor
Invalid Image LinkSold
Invalid Image Link
A one-of-a-kind original watercolor by beloved UCE member and artist Rosemary Zwick. Already very nicely matted and framed, the dimensions are 29" x 25" (unframed 21" x 17"). Rosemary (born 1925-died 1995) designed the ceramic chalice relief at the east entrance of our church, painted the mural in Room 3 and designed the church chalice which was used Christmas 1982 and retired Sunday, November 3, 2019.

Rosemary’s work is rising in value in the art market. It is becoming harder to obtain her original works of arts. She is known for her art gallery in Evanston and commissions in various locations, including the Blue Island Pubic Library, Evanston Township High School, Crow Island School in Winnekta and the Art Institute of Chicago, and many private collections.

In her own words: “I follow no particular school. Much depends upon the idea I am trying to express. One time I may see something as a realistic form, another time as quite abstract.” Rosemary was versatile in various mediums, including paint and ceramic.

The bathroom is new and has a shower. There are two kayaks and two canoes for your use as well as a fire pit, with plenty of wood and outside seating. You may see deer, some of them the famous white deer, eagles, otters, turtles. High Lake is located in the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, a fairly remote lake with infrequent users, mostly fishing boats. The Manitowish River is an easy paddle and accessible from High Lake. There are abundant bike paths and hiking trails. Boulder Junction is the shopping and dining destination for the area communities. You will find Wisconsin supper clubs, fish frys, rustic taverns, even a wine bar! And Mad Dog Jake's Ice Cream is a must. The cottage is available for seven days, any time between 6/1 and 9/15 by mutual agreement with Martha and Wayne. 1 -1 001200.0 1,200 .004E7 400
