Well, here we are! I am very excited to be hosting this year's retreat in Harrisburg, PA. And now it's October 1st and it's time for the sign ups to begin There are less than 9 months til Retreat and SO MUCH TO DO!!! I have a great committee helping me out to give you a fantastic time so I sure hope we'll see you there

No PM is necessary - you are Un-official when I put you on the list AND OFFICIAL when I receive your retreat fee.

DATES: Friday, June 21st thru Sunday, June 23rd, 2013.

HOTEL: The cost of the retreat will be the same as last year. $180 for the weekend. As always, your special guest is welcome to join us for meals at an additional cost. The hotel (whose information you will receive once registration is closed) is giving us a special price of $95/night!

RETREAT FEES: Because we are so close to the holidays and 2012 retreat just ended and the economy being what it is, I have decided to help out by allowing 3 payments. You MAY pay it all in full or in 2 payment if you'd rather. I MUST have at least the first payment by NOVEMBER 3, 2013 however to hold your spot. Here's the timeline on retreat costs and deposits. Please be sure to MARK THESE DATES on your calendar... those not received by these dates will be put on the waiting list,and a waiting list person will be moved into your spot.
a. Deposit: $60.00 - Due by November 3, 2012.
You will have until then to get it to me or your name will go on the wait list and the first person on the wait list will get your spot. (You may pay the full retreat fee if you like)
b. Remaining Fee: $120.00 - May be paid in full by January 3, 2013 or due in 2 payments of $60. One by January 3, 2013 and the final payment of $60 due by March 3, 2013.

*** MAKE ALL CHECKS OUT TO ME (LORI SUCHOMEL)***

We are opening the retreat to 60 people so sign up fast and then get your deposit off ASAP.

Savedsinnr was so smart in making a blog for the 2012 Retreat that I copied her idea and - inadvertently - her google blog. So for ALL the information and the registration forms go to http://cof2013.blogspot.com/

Please save me a spot.

I wouldn't miss any of these retreats, but this next one may be iffy. Even so, gotta get on the list. Looking forward to all the new FUN happening in PA.

I want to come!
I'd also like to get my sister PatriciaAnne signed up. She's a newbie to the MB as of last nite...I got her sign up so she could come with me & doesn't know how to navigate everything yet.

Add me to your list!!!!

Put me down. This is going to be when school is out and I am going to make it a two week excursion.

Usually by the time I get to the sign up, the list is full. This year I'm on the committee so no problem. Lol
See you all there!

You all sure are early birds! Haha! Just bumping for others,Even though it is only 2 hours away, I would only be able to commit for 1 day of the retreat!

I'm looking forward to meeting you Knot me - even if it is only one day. Let me know which day and we'll figure out pricing for you.

Hey Lori, unless I am totally blind, I didn't see if we make the check out to you or do you have a COF account? The form is all made out and I want to get it out in the mail today.

And yes, ladies, I am an*al!

Sign me up too. This one will be my 4th retreat.

Whoopee - now I can get dressed. Count me in - I am an original attendee. Will get a check out this week.

Check your dates. I see a January 2012 in there. You also gave the option of a payment in March but say someting about fees being due by January 31. Thinking about it but would like hotel info before I sign up.
