Jan Jones, making it happen.
Alice (not Nancy) Wexler was trying to come to the ARR...... but she can't..... She is helping by drafting Surveys for us (met with her last week). I think that Nancy is in Venezuela now, on her annual trip there. The HDF, besides a donation of $300, also gave us enough copies of Mapping Fate to give one to each attendee......
We have room for more attendees...... 25 so far, confirmed..... inquiries from more... including 3 possibles just day before yesterday.....

A weekend retreat will be held just for you, designed by you and your At Risker peers, to address your unique concerns.
Make your reservation NOW if you are even considering attending, as space is very limited.
The Retreat is for young adults, ages 18 to 40 or so, non-symptomatic, tested or untested or chosen not to test. Each At Risker may bring one adult Significant Other (friend or spouse), if desired.
We will discuss topics like:
Activities will begin on Friday afternoon. We encourage everyone to take Friday off work or school, so that you can be at the Retreat to participate beginning at 2:00 p.m. (Better yet, why not arrive on Thursday?)
Saturday will be a full day of panel presentations, discussion groups, and an evening of entertainment with music and DJ. Lisa and her sister will be here.
Sunday will include some inspiration to carry us through life…. Although Sunday’s program will end at noon, there will be recreational activities in the afternoon, including hiking with Jerry Lampson, webguy of The HD Lighthouse.
