| Travel: |
We will leave on Friday evening and return Sunday afternoon. It is a 2 hour
drive and we would like to have everyone carpool if possible
(directions will be available and can also be found on the
website). We normally have 3 departing times on Friday: 3
PM, 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM. Please let Laura Doughty know which
of these times is better for you and then she will let you
know who is in each group. Return time is after lunch on Sunday.
We will be well fed as part of the cost of the weekend; Saturday
- breakfast, lunch and dinner and Sunday - breakfast and lunch.
Snacks are available all weekend including Friday evening.
Most people just went through the drive-thru or brought a
bag for dinner on the drive up on Friday. Also there is a
group that likes to stop for lunch at Cracker Barrel on Sunday
so they don't eat at the retreat center. Laura will need a
list of who you are so the Center doesn't prepare a meal for
you. |
