One of the great benefits of the Atlanta Urban League Young Professionals (AULYP) is its social and cultural enrichment opportunities.
In October, members trekked to the north Georgia mountains for a fun and relaxing getaway at Tanglewood Cabins in Helen, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River.
A top tourist destination, Helen is known for its pristine, natural beauty and members enjoyed hiking Anna Ruby Falls, cooking out, shopping, go-karts, a haunted house, ghost tour and Oktoberfest.
“On a scale from 1 to 10, the fun factor was a 12!” said Ciji Tatum, chairwoman of AULYP’s Social and Cultural committee.
The trip was the first such getaway hosted by the AULYP and was organized by the Social and Cultural committee.
The $150 cost of the three-day trip included lodging, ground transportation, three meals and beverages.
The goal was to provide members an opportunity to trade-in their wingtips and heels for sneakers for a weekend and to fellowship with other AULYP members and potential members in a relaxed setting outside of the traditional networking and professional environment.
Organizers hope to continue an annual getaway in the future.
