DATES:
The retreat starts at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, March 20, and will be finished by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 23.

COST:
We intend that cost should not make this retreat inaccessible. In the registration form, there are options for paying full price, half price, or pay-what-you-can. Choose the option that makes financial sense for you, and that makes your participation possible.

TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT:
Those people traveling from California or Nevada will receive $150 (by check) upon arrival, to help defray travel expenses. No receipts will be necessary.

More information later! Until then ---

Best regards,
Everett (chapter registrar)
The retreat will be modeled on what we did in October, with colleagues offering programming in areas of expertise, interest, or of shared practices. It was low-key and fun. A highlight of our time in March will be Judy Tomlinson's Odyssey.

There are several ways you can help with the program:

** Consider what kind of programming you can offer in a 2-hour slot. Repeated programs from the fall are encouraged - they were all so good.

** We will have 3 opportunities to worship together. Please consider creating worship for your colleagues. And if 1-2 folks could serve as worship coordinators, that would be great. Contact Dana if you want to help: deworsnop@uuma.org

** We hope to offer some of the programming for people off-site. We will have 2-3 Meeting Owls available, and having 2-3 coordinators, on- and off-site will help us learn our way into hybrid retreats. Contact Bethany if you want to help: Bethany.e.lowe@gmail.com

It will be so good to be together,
Your loyal Exec Team,
Tera Landers, Bethany Russell, Christine Dance, Dana Worsnop, Sian Wiltshire, Everett Howe

Also, those of you in ministries or work hours that do not lend themselves to a weekday gathering, please be on the lookout for communication from the Exec about a potential weekend gathering in Fall 2023.

There will be scholarship funds available for the March 20-23, 2023 gathering.
