"Winter is the Perfect Time to Think About Summer - in Minneapolis!"
Guilty as charged. I stole this piece from the Prairie Star district newsletter -- without permission. The Prairie Star district will be hosting General Assembly in June. It should be a great GA.
"February is an excellent time to start making plans to attend General Assembly, June 23-27, 2010, in Minneapolis. Although registration for GA will not open until March 1st, this is an ideal time to look at air fares and to budget for your expenses for this not-to-be-missed five-day meeting.
"There are also many housing options at GA this year and at a variety of price points. The GA Planning Committee offers some scholarships, and there may be other financial aid available if you start planning now. Air fare deals abound at this time of the year as well.
"But the biggest draw is General Assembly itself - the largest assemblage of Unitarian Universalists (thousands of them) from congregations large and small. Below is just a sample of special events and programs planned.
•Opening Celebration and Banner Parade on Wednesday night will feature the talented, singer, songwriter, and UU Peter Mayer. Check out his sound at www.petermayer.net/music. You may be familiar with some of his songs: "Holy Now" and "Blue Boat Home."
•The Ware Lecturer this year is Minnesotan Winona LaDuke, an internationally renowned Native American (Anishinabe) activist working on issues of sustainable development, renewable energy, and food systems.
•GA in Minneapolis coincides with the Twin Cities' Pride Festival & Parade; our Public Witness event this year will be part of that event.
