2008 28th Year of the Annual Pelican Reunion Conference

Saturday, August 30 to Monday, September 1

Conference Site: pelicansarepelicans.com


Theme: STAR STEWARDS

Come one, come all. Reunite with former Pelican friends and make new friends too. Invite a Pelican who hasn't attended Reunion yet. Invite someone from your UU or UCC parish who would like to experience the magic of STAR (they may register after July 26). Theme '08 is STEWARDSHIP of our beloved Isle. What can we do on and off island to maintain STAR now and into the future. Can we introduce STAR to new folks who will become Stewards too? Because what's not to love about the place? It is a time to remember (and then act upon and share) the things that have made Star Island a special place and time in our lives. There will be parties, music, sunsets, children's (PIT) program, yoga, drumming, kite flying, 'stewardship brainstorms', and whatever you'd like. Come one, come all, COME BACK!
