We had quite a number of you who were interested in a more regional retreat, meaning you did not want to travel far. And there were some others (like mom) who are interested in meeting in the furs even if it is not nearby. So . . .
For those who want a regional retreat you will need to tell us what state/country you are in (you can leave it in comments) so we can put you in touch with others who are nearby. And this other thing is the most impawtent part so listen carefully . . . someone needs to volunteer to host or coordinate that particular regional meeting. Without someone volunteering to do that, the REGIONAL retreat will NOT happen. Then we will forward the names of the others in the same region to the person who is hosting. We will help advertise your regional meeting as well as refer any latecomers to you for inclusion.
For those of you willing to travel or lucky enough to live in the right spot, that is the one we will coordinate along with Oreo, Dory & Madi. We will call it the 2016 National Retreat. We have an initial time frame of mid to late June. We have NOT tied down the location yet because we need more information on available hotels, RV parks, dog friendly events, etc. but it is LIKELY to be in Indiana somewhere. We need a person close to the place who might be familiar with available options and willing to do footwork. So for those reasons we have not made a final decision YET.
So as you can see, we still have lots of work ahead of us. We will pin down date and location as soon as we can. So in the meantime, we want to know who would LIKELY travel to the 2016 NATIONAL Retreat? We need to know how large of a group we'd LIKELY be looking at. Also let us know if you would be bringing a spouse, doggies, or an RV. You can leave it in comments or email us at cecampbell[AT]msn[DOT]com.
