Film about The Christmas Truce on December 14th at 7 PM at FUUSE
Friday, December 14th, 7:00 – 9:00 PM: The Christmas Truce of WWI: Film and Discussion with NH Veterans, at the Community Room, First Unitarian Universalist Society of Exeter, 12 Elm St, Exeter NH 03833.

In our world today, we sometimes feel divided and unable to bridge differences.  Come be inspired by a historical instance of connecting against all odds and transcending violence: The Christmas Truce of WWI.

Beginning with a showing of the film "The Christmas Truce."  The film tells a story from WWI. Fighting was most fierce on the Western Front. Trenches separated Allies from Germans, with the area in between known as No Man's Land. On Christmas Eve 1914, an astonishing event began--up and down the Western Front, enemy soldiers met peacefully in No Man's Land. Actor Ioan Gruffud narrates a feature-length look at the event, filled with eyewitness accounts.

Discussion following the film will be led by NH veterans.  Will Thomas was in the navy during the cold war, including the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Will Hopkins served in the National Guard and was deployed to Iraq. He is now the Executive Director of New Hampshire Peace Action.

Open to all, free, with donations welcomed. For more info: bmoore628@comcast.net; 603-642-4648

Sponsors: Social Justice Committee of FUUSE, Veterans for Peace, Seacoast Peace Response, Seacoast Occupy and New Hampshire Peace Action.

​Featured Q&A Speaker
Thomas Linzey esq., executive director and co-founder of Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) will speak to how people in their communities can write binding laws that legalize economic, social, and environmental sustainability. CELDF is a non-profit public interest law firm that has assisted over 200 communities across the nation to exercise their community rights to protect people and planet above profit through local lawmaking. In NH, CELDF is assisting a growing number of communities in this grassroots community rights movement, which is also gaining momentum at the state level with the NH Community Rights People's Amendment.

The Outreach Committee was formed in 2004 with the focus on local giving and service and the establishment of a greater contributing presence for FUUSE in the community.  The Outreach mission statement was adopted as follows:  The Outreach Committee reaches beyond FUUSE walls by providing meaningful ways to connect, support and enrich others through service, spirit and financial contributions.  In addition to researching and selecting local non-profits for our monthly Give-It-Away offering with a focus on homelessness, hunger, and youth and elderly, we also organize the yearly Thanksgiving baskets for SAU 16, Senior Santa gifts for Rockingham Meals on Wheels, collecting food for End 68 Hours of Hunger, CROP Walk, and assisting collection for Dignity Matters.  FUUSE supports these efforts wholeheartedly as we make a positive difference in our larger community.  Thank you!!
