As you may or may not know, 2011 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of the Canadian Unitarian Council and the Unitarian Universalist Association. In honour of this milestone, this year's Annual Conference and Meeting in Toronto, Ontario will also be a celebration of this special fiftieth anniversary. One way that I hope we can mark this occasion is by adding another 50 to this event - that being 50 Young Adults from across Canada (and beyond as our American UU's neighbours are welcome too!)
This year the YA ACM planning contingent is bigger and more motivated than ever before and WE WANT YOU! We want to see this ACM full of beautiful, smiling 18 to 35 year old faces, participating as delegates, leading workshops, singing in the choir and generally reveling in the amazing UU spirit that is created at the ACM each year. But we know that making this dream come true will take work and we also know that getting to Toronto and affording the cost of the ACM is easier said than done for many YAs.
So to address this issue, I along with the YA ACM planning group created a survey to help get a sense of what are the interests out there from YAs for the ACM and also what are the biggest barriers for attendance too. The survey is really quick to take - click on the link that says "ACM YA survey" on the left hand side under Events and Networking. Please fill it out and then let all your UU YA friends know about it too. Help us help you get to Toronto this May!
I look forward to reading your responses, working on making this ACM a meaningful and joyous event for YAs and seeing you there in May.
namaste,
