Northwest Bead Society Annual Fall Retreat
October 9, 10 & 11, 2009
The Retreat Center at Camp Burton, Vashon Island, WA


     It’s time to start planning for our Fall Retreat! Mark your calendars for the weekend of October 9-11, 2009.  By popular demand, we’ll return to the Retreat 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 projects, visit with friends, share what you are doing, see what others are working on, 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 preview 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, and 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. If you would like to do a demonstration or mini-class at the retreat, please contact Laura Bowker. We will again have the Secret Beading Buddy for those who wish to participate, and of course, another challenge project.

     This will be a small retreat. Space is limited to 35 people. We are accepting reservations now, with a deposit of $50. The balance of the registration fee will be due by August 18th to secure your space. If you have questions, please contact: Demos - Laura Bowker, 360-652-4056, lbglass@aol.com, Registration & Facilities - Mary Irvine, 206-789-1067, ime@qwestoffice.net , or General - Randi Harper, 425-870-7850, Harperetal@aol.com.
