My first GA

I'm excited to be attending my first General Assembly of Unitarian Universalist Congregations! I've heard about this gathering for years and how much fun, how interesting and inspiring it was for my fellow UUs!

I thought I'd record what I do, thoughts and impressions, especially for my fellows at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Savannah, curious about GA and what goes on there, exactly (as I was!)

I registered for the Conference (cost $290) and hotel (on the beach in Fort Lauderdale) online and several months ago (there is an early bird discount.) A few weeks ago I got a pretty thick program describing worship services, meetings and workshops to attend. As with most conferences (and restaurant menus) I'll probably decide which workshop to attend at the last minute, they all sound interesting, so UU! I saw there is an appreciative inquiry conducted by Helen Bishop, I'm a fan since Leadership School at the Mountain, so I'll try to make that!

I was elected as a delegate at the Church's annual meeting, so I'll be attending the plenary sessions, not sure what to expect there, I'll let you know what we discuss, decide!
