Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

WhaleCoast has been a big fundraiser for AUUF for many years. There are 2 tours of about 40 people each, one in June and another in early July. Anchorage UUs host tourists in their homes, providing bed and breakfast with Alaskan hospitality. AUUF provides meeting space for the group for the few days they are here and provides a banquet with entertainment for each tour. The tour will pay our fellowship $96 per person per night, plus a per-person stipend for the banquets. We make over $20,000 for this event, significantly helping our Operating Budget. We get to meet some very nice UU travelers and show off a bit of our state to them.

​

• THE FIRST TOUR WILL BE IN ANCHORAGE JUNE 10th-12th and the 14th-15th

• THE SECOND TOUR WILL BE IN ANCHORAGE JULY 12th-14th

• BANQUETS FOR EACH 40-GUEST TOUR AT AUUF: JUNE 11th- and JULY 14th
