Our Thirteenth Year of Retreating! 2009 Spring Retreat Tuesday March 31 through check out Sunday April 5 The Spring Retreat is held at the same time as the Quilters Heritage Celebration. There are many classes offered at the quilt show by well known quilt instructors covering a variety of quilt experiences. For this reason, we do not offer any classes at the spring retreat, giving everyone the opportunity to sign up for classes at the show. The Spring Retreat begins before two days before the quilt show begins. There is no schedule, so you are free to do what ever you please, be it fabric or outlet shopping, relaxing in the hot tub or catching up on your sewing. We have a conference room with lots of room for setting up your machine, or for doing hand work. Many retreaters use this opportunity to catch up on UFOs. The opening day of the quilt show is the only time the conference room is closed during the day, giving everyone the chance to visit the show. Spring Retreat packages include accommodations and use of the conference room. This retreat is fully booked. SpecialFull Retreat Package Six days/five nights (Tuesday to check out Sunday) $325 per person double room, $545 private room. Two suites available, email for price (depends on how many want to share) Four days/three nights (Thursday to check out Sunday) $225 per person double room, $375 private room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please be sure you understand the cancellation policy (below) before you send your deposit. To reserve a room in any retreat, you must send a $100 non-refundable deposit. This will reserve you a space in the conference room, and a room to sleep in. I will not match roommates, so if you do not have a friend to accompany you, you must pay for a private room. If one roommate cancels, the remaining roommate shall be required to pay for a private room, or provide their own paying roommate. For this reason, you should choose your roommate carefully. Each retreat has a limited number of spaces in it, and when those spaces are reserved, I will start a waiting list. When someone cancels, I will email the first person on the waiting list, and give that person the opportunity to take that space. That person will have three days to let me know if they want to attend. After three days I will offer the space to the next person on the waiting list. I will not cancel a retreat due to cancellations, only for emergency reasons. A scheduled retreat will go on as long as someone has a paid reservation. In all our years of retreating, only two retreat have been cancelled, and one was because I was in the hospital for emergency surgery. I certainly do understand that emergencies happen, however, please understand that I have to pay for the room regardless if you are in it or not. This cancellation policy applies to the 2009 Spring Retreat. A $100 non-refundable deposit per person is required when you make your reservation. If you are attending more than one retreat, or have booked for years in advance, you must pay a deposit on each retreat. Payment in full must be received by Jan 15, 2009. Payment must be received on time or the reservation will be cancelled and all deposits forfeited. Cancellations must be in writing. Email is fine, but if you do not get an acknowledgement within three days you should email again and/or snail mail. Cancellations made after Jan 15, 2009 are transferable to another person, but not refundable. I have to pay my bills on time, and I would appreciate it if you would do the same. I set the retreat due dates so your payment arrives in time for me to pay my bill. There will be a $20 late charge for any late retreat payments. Need more information, email Marge. You may pay your deposit or make other payments securely with any major credit card through PayPal! Reserve your room.
