CANCELLED

Tahoe Retreat July 31 to Aug 2 - 2020 – Announcement Monday April 27th 2020

Hello everyone. 
It is with deep regret we are writing to announce that the Tahoe Retreat Committee has voted to cancel the 2020 Tahoe Retreat.  

2020 Retreat Refund Policy 

1. If you have made a partial payment of $150.00, 100% of your deposit will be refunded. 
2. If you have made a Full payment of $250.00, 100% of your deposit will be refunded.
3. If you paid for Sunday Lunch separately or paid to stay Sunday Night you will be refunded.
4. If you have already cancelled and we have withheld $25.00 that will also be refunded.

We ask that you please consider donating $25.00 or more to offset the Retreat costs incurred to date of $1055.00.  
Simply go the DONATE form at the end of this message. 

Here is the rationale of our decision to cancel related to the ongoing COVID 19 Pandemic. 

1. Many members of our fellowship fall into the High Risk Category due to age.
2. If we held the Retreat at the end of July, can we ensure safe distancing in the conference room? No, the conference area is too small to ensure safe distancing.
3. Can we insure that at our meals and coffee breaks, safe distancing would be possible?  No.
4. Can we ensure sharing a room will be safe? No.
5. Can we ensure being transported by our shuttle vehicles from the parking lot will be safe? No.
6. Can we ensure that on the drive up to Tahoe and then back home again we will all be safe? No
7. Do the benefits of holding the Retreat, justify the risks as outlined above? No.

We will miss seeing all of you. Please stay safe so we can see you in 2021!

If you have any questions, please contact me.
