They provide food, clothing, and financial assistance for rent and utilities. They also work to connect their clients with opportunities to improve themselves and their conditions. Daystar of Citrus County was started by St Benedict Catholic Church in Crystal River and is also supported by other Catholic parishes and Christian churches and organizations. The Center serves Citrus County residents regardless of religion or creed, race or color, gender, gender identity of expression, sexual orientation, marital or family status, age, physical or mental ability, ethnicity or national origin, or military or veteran status.
Special Request from Art Jones
Plans for the upcoming months, please add in the Dunnellon Springs Festival on July 5th and 6th. We will need volunteers to help with some of the entry gates. All volunteers will earn in kind sponsorship credit at $31.61/hour This will go towards matching the original $1,000 sponsorship the board of Directors of the NCUU approved at the last board meeting that supported the One Rake at a Time Restoration Project on the Rainbow River.
All members of the NCUU who sign up to put in volunteer hours will help us bump up the sponsorship level for the NCUU by using in-kind support to bring us up to the $2,500 level of being a Bass Sponsor; That adds vendor space included, large logo promotion. Shout out from stage 6 time’s each day plus 3 minutes on stage at the microphone each day.
I am also donating the hours I am putting in as in-kind donations for the NCUU.
Please, people who are going to be here this summer please sign up at the What’s up Table or via email or phone, and commit to hours that they can work. We will need front gate people from 11am to 10pm Saturday and from 8am to 5pm Sunday. Volunteer shifts are 2 hours and people can sign up to do multiple shifts.
Please support the cleanup and restoration of the Rainbow River
Thanks very much, Art Jones
Qigong classes
Nature Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is offering Qigong-Mindful Movement classes on Wednesdays, 3 PM, at 7633 N. Florida Ave. Citrus Springs.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is similar to a moving meditation. This ancient practice consists of gentle movement patterns, breath awareness, and a focused mindset designed to enhance vitality, deepen inner connection, and create space for your highest potential.
By gently moving stagnant Qi (life force energy) you can release blockages and feel balanced with effortless effort !
Our teacher, Alicia Martinez, is a Qigong Associate instructor as well as certified Yoga Instructor for adults and children.
Come join us for this weekly practice. No experience is required and instructor will provide modifications if needed.
