Photo of the Week #1

Our Little Free Library was dedicated on Oct. 31, 2021 in memory of Rita Pierce, an avid reader and volunteer teacher in the Religious Exploration program. Posing at the Grand Opening are, from left, the Rev. Aaron Payson, David and Ann Pierce, Bart Hill, Tom Pierce and Religious Exploration Director Robin Mitzcavitch. Tom’s relatives, Ann and David, came from Ballston Lake, NY to participate in the ceremony. Bart designed and built the structure, which the COA youth painted. The library was funded by a donation from Tom in memory of his wife Rita. (photo by Betty Jenewin)

Yes, you can indeed turn the office of the Greater Worcester Unitarian Universalist Campus Ministries into a photo studio and use a tablecloth draped over an embroidery frame as a photo backdrop.
