The United Church Women (UCW) of Polk County will attend Hendersonville’s Human Rights Celebration on Saturday, March 12 at 9:30 a.m. The group will meet at the Bi-Lo parking lot in Columbus at 8:45 a.m. to carpool.

In 1968 the UCW passed the following resolution:

“We affirm that all persons as human beings have inherent worth and dignity, and that basic human rights should be equally available to every person regardless of race, religion, ethnic background or sex.”

In keeping with the values and priorities given to the UCW by the founding members, the National Ecumenical Celebrations Committee presents this year’s program focusing on human rights.

The 2011 theme, “Living Our Legacy, Driving the Movement,” reflects the UCW’s 70-year history and the need for all present day members to continue to drive the movement forward.
