BEACH LAKE, PA — The Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s (UDUUF) Bud Rue Walk for Social Justice will be held this year on October 18, stepping off from the Berlin Township Community Center at 12 noon. The walk was started in 1993 by the late Bud Rue, and has now raised a total of $70,000.

Prior to the walk, there will be a service at 10:15 a.m. to which all are invited. Carol Rocklin will present a talk on altruism, focusing on why people help others even at the risk to their own lives.

All funds raised will be shared equally among Wayne Habitat for Humanity, Wayne County’s Victims Intervention Program and Sullivan County’s Rape Intervention Services & Education. These organizations were selected based on financial need and the services they provide to our communities in New York and Pennsylvania.

The walk is an easy five-mile stroll beginning and ending at the community center. A sweep car continually drives the route, and walkers can choose to leave at any point. A potluck meal is provided by the fellowship.
