The cost this year will be $195 -- inclusive of 5 nights lodging, meals,
and dues to the Chapter and to the Order.  
Limited assistance is available for those who ask.
All first time retreatants will pay only $50.

We will gather at the retreat site beginning at 6 PM on Sunday evening.  
Brothers & Sisters should have supper before arrival,
but we will have evening refreshments available
and our convening prayer that evening.  
We will conclude the retreat with breakfast on Friday morning.

As has become our practice in the Heartland, any brother or sister
who wants to bring and prepare an evening meal (Monday through Thursday)
is welcomed to do so.  He or she should contact me with a proposal.  
The chapter will reimburse reasonable expenses for the meal ingredients.  
This has been a wonderful way to share the richness of our cultural traditions --
and we've enjoyed some delicious food, too!  We also welcome any "treats," homemade, homegrown, or others that members bring to share.

Bro Michael Simmons will be our retreat leader,
