Dear NAPUS Editor,
We have dates for the 2009 NAPUS National Convention in Alaska. They are September 12th through 17th, 2009. To find out more information about when, where and what to do in Anchorage and other parts of Alaska, go to www.anchorage.net. You have time to gather information and make your plans.
We especially want to let you know that we have started a travel site to raise money for the 2009 Convention expenses and would like all of you to help us by using this site to book your travel etc. to St. Louis, Anchorage and any other places you may be going. It works just like Orbitz or Travelocity but the Alaska Chapter of NAPUS gets a small fee from it. Check it out at www.ytbtravel.com/alaskanapus.
All of us in the Alaska NAPUS Chapter are so excited about having you all come and visit. There will be lots to do, you just have to research it and find what works for you. In St. Louis we will have a booth with lots of information about Anchorage, cruise lines, train tours etc. We will also be fund raising so stop by and check us out.
We will be signing people up to help us with all the work there is to do, so if any of you will have some time to help please stop at the Alaska Booth in St. Louis and sign up.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you all in St. Louis and Anchorage.

PS: There is a great article about Alaska in the AARP magazine for May/June 2008 starting on page 82.
