Dear First Unitarian Church Honolulu,
Planning to attend the 203 UU@UN Intergenerational Spring Seminar in-person in Minneapolis? If so, we encourage you to book your room in our hotel block ASAP, since the February 28 deadline is coming right up!
Our hotel block is with the Hampton Inn Downtown, where our attendees can reserve rooms at a specialty rate, so it should be an excellent value if you’re travelling to the seminar. Plus, it’s located close to the venue (First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis), and we’ll provide a free shuttle between the hotel and the congregation.
This year’s Seminar will take place April 1-3, 2023. Join youth (14+) and adults in-person or online for programming and activities!
This email contains all kinds of information to help you learn more about what to expect. We hope you’ll help us spread the word and register by March 15, 2023.
If you’re joining us online, consider getting your youth group or others at your congregation to come, too! You can watch the programs together and form your own reflection groups.
See you there!
