I need to settle this, so let's consider several options. Please reply with the option(s) you could support, keeping in mind that it'll be hard to find a single solution that works perfectly for all of us.

Possible weekend dates:

April 16-17-18

April 23-24-25

April 30-May 1-2

May 7-8-9

May 14-15-16

May 21-22-23

May 28-29-30

Anything later gets too hot in Oklahoma.

I'm bad, bad, bad at fundraising. I don't even know how to do it. Please give me ideas!

I say we ask around locally to see if there are any organizations in our respective areas that would want to donate to it. That is if the co-ordinator *cough..Matt* could put together some information that they could review...hint hint HINT!!! Can you tell I've been asking around. And asking around is totally FREE for us to do.

I stink at fundraising. I am so bad at it that I have actually kicked in money...like I collected it...just so I wouldn't have to say I didn't raise any...:(

You know what I wish? I wish we could have it for ALL the dates listed. (Except May 30th weekend)...but, wouldn't it be so nice to have a really long retreat....wow. I love my family, but, this year, I have every intention of being emotionally prepared for....for whatever! Last time, I had some surprises and I blubbered alot. I plan on being high and dry. Well, not "high"...but, you know what I mean. I got so much out of the last one, but I was soooo very moved that my emotions (tears) got too tweaked. Maybe I'll wear two hormone patches...LOL!

Matt, OUR school isn't out until the end of May this year. And I seriously wonder about your mom being able to babysit this year.

deleted_user 09/14/2009

First weekend in June works great for us, too. But sheesh, June feels so far away! I wish we'd planned two retreats a year, so we had one coming up soon to look forward to.

deleted_user 09/14/2009

Agreed. That would be BOMB. But a bit tight on my pocket seeing as one retreat makes me poor :P

Heck, let's just create a commune where women can come and live safely! Anyone have a ton of money for mountaintop property?

deleted_user 09/14/2009

finalytime 09/15/2009

Early June works for me:)

While we're planning our commune, we should figure out who has the biggest house and all show up on the doorstep with sleeping bags and snacks.
