Retreat Is Full! Registration Closed!

     Chairman Nancy Schwalenberg reports that the Fall Retreat Oct. 26-27 at Wintergreen Resort in Wisconsin Dells is full to overflowing! All available space is filled in the ballroom for the sessions, and the hotel is setting up extra tables and chairs for us. All the sleeping rooms are sold out.

     Because of this "overage," registration has been closed, and even some walk-in may need to be turned away. (This reminds me of the situation in Sioux Falls, where registrations for the national convention were closed this year because they were full too.)

     While this does pose logistical issues for the retreat committee, what a JOYOUS 'problem' to have--you might say it is an 'overage' of JOY!!  The committee is working diligently to accommodate everyone; however, some may need to be turned away, due to the hotel having a maximum number of people they can accommodate in the meeting rooms. The committee asks for your understanding and patience! Extra materials have been printed. 

     Just like in Sioux Falls, we can look upon this as an opportunity to witness to the hotel staff--to show our love and patience with each other and with them. Christian love in action!

     I, personally, am looking forward to this retreat where we will celebrate the closeness (both literally and figuratively!) of our LWML sisterhood, and where we will also celebrate mission outreach. I feel the overwhelming response to this retreat is indicative of the interest our women have in spreading the Gospel. All praise to HIM for giving us this opportunity!
