I attend/hold four retreats a year, Feb., May, Sept., Nov. I hold them for my quilting friends, and they are called "Intown Retreats". We have them from Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to at least 9 p.m. There are normally 15 to 20 of us. Everyone brings some type of food dish, and we sew, visit, laugh, eat, etc. Then, we go home to our own comfy beds, and start again the next day. The room costs us $300 for the four days, and we pay $50 for someone to come in and clean up the room. It normally costs us $7.50 each a day. What a deal, and so much fun!
