Summit Accommodations: We have Homestays!

Generous UUs from Olympia UU Congregation are offering FREE homestays to folks traveling far, managing a budget, or just plain looking for a place to bed down with good housemates. Homestays are available for Friday night, Saturday night, or both. Make your request for a homestay in Part 2 of your registration.

Summit Pre- and Post Events:

Pre-event Friday Evening:
Join us Friday evening, October 11, in the OUUC Sanctuaryfor the film: “As Long as the Rivers Run,” iconic documentary tracing the struggle of the American Indians of the Northwest to maintain their fishing rights and way of life.

6:00 pizza (and a gluten-free alternative)

6:40 Introduction to the Movie by Willie and Peggen Frank

7:20 Screening of As Long As Rivers Run

8:15 Discussion – follow-up to Frank’s remarks re: What American Indian ally’s can do to support the American Indian way of life.

The OUUC, Hosts of the Justice Summit, and Learning Right Relations, welcome Willie Frank III, son of Billy Frank Jr, and Peggen Frank, Executive Director of Salmon Defense. The Franks will introduce the movie and speak about the Billy Frank Jr. legacy as expressed by the non-profit partner of the Northwest Indian Fish Commission – Salmon Defense. The movie chronicles the lead-up to the Boldt Decision and especially highlights the long-time efforts of Billy Frank Jr. to assert that the Medicine Creek Treaty Fishing Rights were wrongfully
interpreted by the people of Washington State.

Post Event Sunday Morning
Join members of Olympia UU Congregation at worship services Sunday morning at 9:15 and 11:00 AM on Sunday, October 13.

Summit Childcare:

While Summit sessions are intended for adults, all sessions are family friendly. If your child joins you for Summit sessions you attend, we will happily welcome them.

We encourage participants who leave their children at home to give themselves a full scholarship to help defray costs of home childcare.

Should you need childcare provided onsite, please let us know your needs no later than September 30, and we will try to accommodate you and your child/children.

Summit Meals:

A light breakfast and lunch will be provided to Summit participants free of charge. Click here to review the menu .

Some GLUTEN FREE, VEGETARIAN, and VEGAN options will be available. For all serious food concerns, please notify us of your restrictions in Part 2 of your registration, and be sure to read labels at the event or inquire in the kitchen.

Pay what makes sense:

How much does the Summit Cost? Registration fees for the all-day Summit on Saturday, October 12 are determined by how much you want to pay. Basic registration is $35 per person. We encourage you to pay less if that makes it easier for you to attend and to pay more if you can support others’ attendance.

We encourage participating youth to give themselves a full scholarship. We also suggest that those with limited incomes, those paying for childcare at home, those traveling significant distances or anyone incurring other expenses related to their participation at the summit consider choosing reduced fees or a full scholarship as well.

There is no charge for the pre-event on Friday evening, October 11, the post-event, Sunday morning, October 13, or for taking advantage of a homestay.
