Retreat – Tom Gibson: Request for proposals have been put out, but no responses have been received as yet. Date of the Retreat has been moved to April 17, 18 and 19 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). It will be held at Canyon Camp in Hinton, Oklahoma. Discussion occurred regarding whether to make the retreat all-inclusive this year, rather than separate the classes out of the retreat registration. The venue makes it possible to accommodate everyone in the classes. Betty’s husband has volunteered to provide transport from the airport to the venue for those flying to the retreat.
