Northwest Bead Society –
Bead Retreat
October 21, 22 & 23, 2011
The Retreat Center at Camp Burton, Vashon Island, WA
Mark your calendars for the weekend of
October 21-23, 2011. We are once again returning to the Re-treat Center
at Camp Burton on Vashon Island. This charming facility is located on
waterfront property in a peaceful, wooded setting on Vashon Island, only
a short ferry ride from Seattle. We are planning another fun, relaxing
weekend this year for you to work on your beading projects, visit with
friends, share what you are doing, watch a demo if you want, and just
have a great time - with everything taken care of for you. Our meeting
space has great views of the water, and the facility has beach access.
For a pre-view of our location:
www.campburton.com
Your retreat registration fee includes both your
housing and meals. You will be able to come on Friday afternoon, leave
on Sunday afternoon, and know that everything is taken care of in your
registration: all meals (Friday dinner through Sunday lunch), your
lodging for Friday and Saturday night, and our space to meet. Sleeping
accommodations will be 3 people per room. You may tell us who you wish
to room with or let us make the assignment. Linen service is provided
and each room has its own bathroom, although since we are at a camp and
not a hotel, rooms are left unlocked.
We do want this to be a relaxing weekend for all, with
plenty of time to bead, so we are planning:
a limited number of demonstrations
another challenge project
The Bead Swap Game and Secret Beading Buddy, for those who wish to
participate
This will be a small retreat. Space is limited to 30
people. We are accepting reservations soon with a deposit of $60. The
balance of the registration fee (an additional $135) will be due by
August 19th to secure your space. If you have questions or would like to
help with the pre-retreat preparations, please contact:
