UU’s Tiny House Draws Visitors at Book Festival
Volunteers from all four Southern Arizona UU Congregations, the Baja 4, staffed both a booth with UU Books and a Tiny House at the annual Book Festival at the U of A this past weekend. Two hundred plus visitors stopped by each day to talk with UU volunteers. A steady draw for visitors at this year’s Festival of Books was the Tiny House. It is on loan from the UU Congregation in Santee, California. The Tiny House is a nod to Thoreau’s cabin and the 165th anniversary of the publication of Walden, a book about simple living in natural surroundings. The Tiny House provided an example of reducing our impact on the earth by living simply. It also underscored the 7th UU principle, respect for the interdependent web of existence of which we are a part.

A special thanks to all the volunteers at MVUU who made this possible. This includes the following: Hobie Denny, Susan Neely, Derek Contreras, Ann Marshall, Kathy Kouzmanoff, Steve Bottorff, Betty Meikle, Pi Irwin, Zsombor Zoltan and Mary Nell Hoover.
