Can you tell me how you handle the costs for the rooms/house? Do you collect all the money when you make the reservations or do you just collect enough to cover the deposits and minimum reservation fee (usually one night's rent) then collect the balance when the entire bill must be paid? Thanks for your assistance

Hi again. We have one lady who takes care of the reservations. We each pay her the whole amount in advance. Out here she has to make the reservations by October for our March retreat. We stay from Thursday until Sunday. If we decide to take food along, as in frozen lasagna, etc., that cost is figured into the amount we each pay. Since it is all paid in advance, we have no trouble collecting or handling money once we are there.
Our small group is usually the same 8 ladies each year. We also buy our quilto cards with fat quarters and the fat quarters become the last prize. We have to fill the quilto card for that one.
Hope that helps.
