4-CD Music Set by A.J. Bodner and Liza DiSavino O.K. - this one's a throwback to the infancy of UUCSH, when our Music Director was none other than A.J.Bodner. This set of 4 CD's represents music mostly written but always performed by A.J. and his very talented wife Liza DiSavino. A.J. and Liza are currently teaching at Berea College in Kentucky, but do occasionally return to their roots here in NJ. They play a versatile set of instruments (our going away gift to A.J. was a didgeridoo) and quite an interesting mix of musical styles. One of their songs, Holy Women, Holy Men (on their Alternative Medicine album), was dedicated to our very own UUCSH congregation! You can preview some of their songs at: http://www.reverbnation.com/lizaaj4 1 0 000060.0 60 .00025E7 25

At the very first UUSCH Service Auction, several single stalk Oxcalis (Purple Shamrocks) seedling plants were offered. We were luck to win one of the small seedlings.

From that humble beginning, just like our UUCSH community, the plant has grown and multiplied year after year. It goes back to ground every winter, but comes roaring back every spring.

This plant is a direct decendent of the original seedling from the very first service auction.

Take home a living piece of our living history!

Jim's Honey Do Helper is back! Is your repair list around the house getting overwhelming or do you need an extra set of hands on a bigger job? Is your significant other just too busy or you don't want to call Mr. Handyman to fix those things that are drive you crazy?

After a few years off, I'm ready to break out the tool box!

In exchange for your generous donation, I will come to your abode, spend 4 hours (6 if you feed me lunch) repairing, installing, tightening, glueing or whatever it takes to resolve one or more problems around the house that just are not getting done.

No job too small, some may be too big. So ask me in advance of your bid if you are not sure. In past years I have installed faucets, re-set toilets, helped install flooring, installed cabinets, fixed stuck doors, rewired lamps, re-glued chairs and other furniture items.

Start your year off with a clean slate by bidding on this offering.
