Feast 2007

Alaska Accepting Applications

 

The United Church of God will again sponsor a Festival site in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2007.

The 500 to 600 anticipated attendees will be hosted by the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel just 15 minutes from Anchorage International Airport. The downtown location provides easy access to Anchorage's busiest shopping centers and the most popular events.

The 16-story hotel features 375 comfortable guest rooms with museum-quality sculpture and artwork. The hotel claims an international reputation for din ing excellence and friendly service. The impressive atrium lobby features a jade staircase and a Native Alaskan design motif.

Prices

The rates are $108 for standard rooms and $128 for club level rooms.

Children under 18 are free, but there is a $10 charge per adult for a third and fourth person. The tax is currently 12 percent. Parking is free for those who drive or rent cars.

Local Area

Anchorage offers the convenience, excitement and ambience of a small but cosmopolitan city nestled into the upper reaches of historic Cook Inlet. Recreational and cultural activities coexist within walking distance of each other.

Wildlife viewing, fishing, hiking, biking and cross-country ski trails are minutes from downtown. Anchorage is a jumping off place for a myriad of wilderness and outdoor adventures, including some of the world's most famous fishing and wildlife areas:

Kenai National Moose Range, Kenai River, Prince William Sound, Denali National Park, Katmai National Park, Alaska Botanical Garden, Ben Boeke and Dempsey Anderson Ice Arenas, Lake Hood Air Harbor, several ski areas (Hilltop, Alyeska and Alpenglow), Alaska Zoo and the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge.

First-Come, First-Served Registration/Application

Due to the Church being directly responsible and liable to the Sheraton Anchorage for the hotel rooms reserved and for providing the meeting space, all accepted attendees must stay at the Sheraton. Exceptions to this will be members living in Alaska or those given prior approval.

Acceptance is based on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited space.

There is a $125 per adult and $50 per child (age 18 and under) nonrefundable application/approval fee. This will be applied to your hotel room bill. This will be returned only under two conditions: 1. If the capacity of the site is full and no more approvals can be made. 2. If there is a cancellation and another party can fill your hotel space.

Unexpected emergencies may result in the loss of monies. The Church suggests taking out travel insurance for protection.

A personal check, traveler's check or a money order made payable to the United Church of God is the only acceptable form of payment for the application. Note "Alaska" on the memo line of your payment. A credit card number will be required upon notification of approval to hold your hotel room.
