sweater, slippers, favorite sewing chair from home, light for top of table, extension cords, snacks, coffee mug, water cup, paper bag to catch snippets, painters tape to hang the bag, address book or i-phone - you will make new friends to keep in contact with,pattern names of your projects - someone will always ask,not too many projects. My last one, retreat, I was working on a red and white log cabin for my best friends mother as a mothers day gift, that is all I worked on for 1 solid week. They should provide a list for you as well, most of all have a wonderful time, sew and make new friends...
