Q: Are personal announcements allowed at the 2008 retreat?
A: We are elated when women choose to celebrate their birthdays or anniversarys at a retreat. However, we value the time of all our attendees. Because of the number of retreat announcements that must be made in order to keep the retreat flowing smoothly, we cannot make birthday, anniversary, or other personal announcements.
Q: Is childcare provided for the 2008 retreat?
A: No. The ballrooms are not suitable for childcare, and the logistics involved make it impracticable for our ministry to offer childcare.

Q: What if I lost a personal item at the 2008 retreat? How do I get it back?
