Organizers for the 2012 Pacific Northwest District (PNWD) District Assembly (DA) are seeking exhibits for display during this annual gathering of Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) congregations. The 2012 PNWD District Assembly will provide a forum to celebrate our 50th anniversary. In 1961, Unitarian and Universalist faiths consolidated and a year later, the Pacific Northwest District (PNWD) evolved into a new organization. We'll review our remarkable history and we'll look to the future as we Carry the Flame to promote UU principles to a world clearly in need of more justice, equity, liberty, compassion, tolerance, respect, peace and spiritual growth.
Exhibits should complement the Carry the Flame theme and may highlight the 50-year anniversary. We are looking for exhibits from District programs, PNWD associate member organizations, other UU groups, and non-UU groups if related to the assembly theme or of particular value and interest to attendees (preference given to non-profits). Please use the Vendor/Exhibitor Application form (MS Word) to submit your proposed exhibit. (The application is also available as PDF.)
