Our Fellowship met the requirements of the UUA Green Sanctuary Program, and we received our Accreditation certificate at the 2009 General Assembly in Salt Lake City.
Congratulations to all who played a part. Now the work begins!

One of the larger projects we did toward getting our accreditation
was helping the Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity in building their
first "green" house, awarded the U.S. Green Building Council's
highest
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
rating of Platinum. With our continued help they will be "thinking
green" in all of their new homes.
Thanks to your generosity, BUUF donated $1000 to the Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity as our April 2009 Outreach. If you would like to contribute your time and effort as well, we will need 10 people to help build a home on Saturday, October 10, and again on Saturday, October 17. No experience is necessary. We will also need someone to provide lunch for 25 people (our own volunteers and others) on both dates.
To reserve your space please contact Wanda Jennings @ 362-7563 or .
