Twenty Year Anniversary of Herland Retreats
October 28th-30th, Eufaula State Park
Where Were You Twenty Years Ago? Well, Herland’s 20 Year Reunion Retreat will explain where a lot of us were.
The plans are coming together for the biggest Retreat yet. Just a few of the events planned are a pumpkin carving contest (bring your own pumpkin), costume contest (for 2 legged and 4 legged), a silent auction — among other things you can bid on a sailboat that has been donated — and the usual raffle with loads of goodies.
Saturday brunch will be served by our own gourmet Chris and she is promising omelets, etc. There will be outdoor activities earning the winners points toward a prize from the raffle table. And there will be indoor games tournament activity, as well. There will be a special 20th anniversary retreat t-shirt to mark the occasion and hopefully tie-dying; however, finding a tie-dye artist is proving difficult.
Don’t forget the potluck, as it is always the best meal of the year. On top of all the things we have planned, there are a golf course and hiking trails at Eufaula, fishing, nature center, and plenty of wildlife to watch.
Bring costumes for you and/or your dog for the costume contest — Jeannie Flanigan will bring makeup and other additional costume items for your use.
Also, please send in any photos you might have of past retreats as we will scan them into the computer and show them on the wall throughout the Retreat. (You will get your photos back unharmed.) Let’s see how many years of retreats we can identify.
Come share the celebration. It will definitely be fun and interesting. For more information, or to offer help with this Mother of all Retreats, contact Laura or leave a message for the Retreat Committee. Laura can be reached at 286-0079 or a message left at Herland at 521-9696.
