Urgent! July retreat info and question for you!

[Nathan7]

Hi all, here's the deal: most reasonable (and reasonably priced) places in the Tenn or NC mountains have booked up for our weekend. We've found one place that seems like it would be great (hotel style rooms, bigger shared bunkbed rooms, separate cabins, big meeting room, separate dining/kitchen room - all together), but they aren't available 9-11th.

They ARE available July 2nd-4th. We have found in the past that holiday weekends can be good retreat times for people to get away - but I thought that it would be hard to book anything for July 4th weekend.

So, question for you to answer, as soon as you see this: If you were considering coming, would July 2nd-4th work for you? If you were not able to come previously, would this weekend perhaps work for you?

If you don't answer, I'll assume either works for you, or that you are not able to make either date. (We'd have to keep looking for a place for the 9th-11th.) One plus of the 4th is that many people have the 5th off, and some of us could stick around and visit longer, Sunday night and Monday.

We hope to make this decision within 72 hours and we will take in to account accommodating the most people, so please respond here ASAP or email you answers to retreats@biblicalfamilies.org.

Thanks!, Nathan

If I can come up with the financial means to come, the 2nd - 4th sounds best to me.

2nd-4th works best for us.

Sorry organisers, like the thought of attending, but we're deep into settling here in Florida, but any weekend is ok with us should we one day be able to attend.

[Pretty Tulips]

I would have to check with the 'boss' if can switch the days off request I put in to the weekend before.
But I think it may be fine.

[Mark C]

While I don't yet know whether or not attending is a real possibility or not for us yet, the time around the 4th definitely improves the chances, for the reason that you already noted.

[Rome4Truth]

Whatever works. Any thought to the 16-18th?

If it is the 2-4th I do not believe I can attend for the entire time due to conflicts on the 4th.

Possibly on the 2nd only. The original weekend was perfect but I totally understand...

Much better for us a different weekend truthfully but do what you must do as other family events going on the 4th.

-Your thoughts?

This would probably be the best weekend for me to attend (2-4).

[Revgill87123]

I think either is fine. I just really need to find out if I take a flight out if some one can pick me up. As long as it's in Tenn I am good too go.

[Nathan7]

Well, before you schedule your flight, you should know this, the place we're looking at is in NC, 45 minutes north of Asheville. We spent many hours looking for another place today - on theTennessee side, and on the 9-11th, but found nothing fit for us, and available then. I'll post here again by Friday night with a final answer, hopefully.
