Tret Fure, an iconic singer-songwriter whose career spans more than

Spencer Davis to her foundational role in the women’s music movement,
Fure has been celebrated for heartfelt storytelling, courageous
lyricism, and masterful musicianship.

With a career forged both in the spotlight and behind the scenes—as
performer, producer, engineer, and mentor—Fure has shaped the sound of folk and women’s music for decades. Her songs tell deep truths with a
rare blend of empathy, insight, and artistry.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of music that will inspire,
move, and connect us all.

Monday, October 6, 7 PM, Unitarian Universalist Society East -- 153 Vernon St. West, Vernon, CT.

Expert Fred Sawyer will provide an overview of the 3,500-year history of the sundial as a scientific device -- perhaps humanity's first. Over that period, the sundial has changed in diverse ways to accommodate our evolving concept of what it means to measure time. Many varieties of sundials will be discussed and illustrated with slides and actual instruments on display. Time will be allocated for the audience to ask questions about how the various unusual and unfamiliar dials work to let us order our days. This event is in memorial honor of UUSE member, Cliff Pelletier, who loved science and was very generous to UUSE. Fred Sawyer is a retired actuary and longtime member of UUSE. He graduated from Yale and the U. of Pittsburgh with degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy and the History of Philosophy and Science. He is the President and editor of the North American Sundial Society and the Patron of the British Sundial Society. He is a featured speaker each year at the NASS conference in the U.S. and Canada and the BSS conference in England He has provided the layouts for a number sundials in Connecticut and has published nine books on Sciatherics -- the study of sundials.

THIS EVENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ADULTS AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
