Date ~ June12-14, 2009
Location ~ This year’s retreat will again be held on the rolling,
323 acre, tree-lined campus of Shepherd University in historic
Shepherdstown, situated in northeastern West Virginia on the
banks of the Potomac River. For those with web access, www.
shepherd.edu is the place to start for all sorts of facts, maps,
directions, and other information about the university and
surrounding areas.
Check-in ~ Friday from 4-6:30 p.m. and after the evening
(7-9 p.m.) program. The retreat concludes Sunday at noon.
Lodging ~ All rooms are air-conditioned, dormitory-style, 2
long-twin beds to a room and a shared hall bath. The residence
hall has 3 floors and no elevator. First floor rooms are limited.
If you need a room on the first floor for health reasons, please
register early. The university provides linens and towels.
However, you must bring your own pillows and blankets.
For those who might consider residence hall living a bit too
“rustic”, close-by commercial lodging is available in town. The
university website has links to several facilities.
Meals ~ A sandwich buffet will be available to all during Friday
check-in. There will be 3 meals served on Saturday (breakfast,
lunch and dinner) and breakfast only on Sunday. An optional
Sunday lunch will be available for an additional charge of $8,
payable with registration.
