For the big retreat I really want, the building is not available until mid October! I am still going to go with that and am working out all of the details now.
HOWEVER, I need a retreat SOONER than Oct...so I have a mini one planned for August...I call it mini because it will not include meals or rooms. If you want a room I have 6 blocked so far at a nice discounted rate. Here are the details thus far.
This would be from Friday morning to Sunday evening.
Three days, two nights(or three if you want) at a very nice hotel here that is located in a "PRIME" location..Applebees, Chili's, and El Chico all sit in front of the hotel. The hotel has a very nice pool/hot tub/work out area, media center, full service breakfast(not continental), across from our mall, Kmart, and more fast food.
THe rooms are King(single) and queen(double). The price is the same for either room. The room are really nice, and are getting new furniture/bedding this summer. They all have a nice sized mini fridge and a micro!
NOW, here is where you all come in again...
#1!-would you come to sit and sew in a hotel meeting room with all of these amenities?
#2- would you want a planned program or just do your own thing?
#3- would you come to a "mystery quilt" weekend class?
Thus far I am considering the Mystery quilt, but also considering a do you own thing with a block lotto that would actually be a KIT you got when you arrive that would make two blocks. One would be for a QOV quilt and one would go into the lotto drawing!Either way I am thinking the block lotto will stay!
The cost for a "do your own thing" would be $35 per person, the cost for the Mystery class would be $50! I need a vote on which you would do, IF you would come to Enid to do one!
Light snacks, water, iced tea and the block lotto kit will be included in the cost whether you are a stay over or a drop in.
Space is limited at the hotel, maybe 15 tops! At the October one I can 50 easy!
I look forward to hearing from you all on this!
