Winter Retreat

Hey all- I announced this morning that a $30 deposit is due for winter retreat in two weeks, January 11th. This is to help us know how big of a cabin we need to reserve. Here's what's going on right now: We have a cabin reserved that will sleep approximately 35 at the absolute max. This is the cabin that we have stayed in for the past several years (except 2006). Here's the rub: there are 45 students signed up to go on the winter retreat. If this many go, we will be well over 50 attendees and we will need to rent a larger cabin. There are several still available for a group that size, but we need to know for sure soon. Since we only have a cabin that will sleep 35, as of now I can only guarantee the spots of 29 students (we're taking 6 adult chaperones). We want all 45 students who are signed up to go on our trip, but in order for that to happen we need deposits to start rolling in. A larger cabin cannot be reserved until we know for sure that more students are going so we can keep the cost down for everyone.

So, please make your $30 non-refundable deposit as soon as possible. Full payment is due by the time of the trip, so the deposit is intended to help everyone make payments in a timely and affordable manner. Please contact Dustin at the church office if money is an issue. We are able to provide scholarships for students every year who want to go but cannot because of finances. We want everyone who wants to go on this trip to go, so please contact the church office if there's anything we can do to help.
