Please join us February 9-13, 2012 for the 15th Annual Winter Retreat at Camp Lone Star in LaGrange. Sign-up for this fun-filled event will begin promptly at 6:15 p.m. October 11, 2011 at the Brazos Center. Because of space limitations, the retreat is open to BBQG members only. Registrants have the option of signing up for either 3 nights (Thursday, Friday & Saturday) or 4 nights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday). The cost of the retreat is the same as last year: $230 for 3 nights or $280 for 4 nights. These costs include 3 meals/day and lodging. Space is limited and once the retreat is full, a waiting list will be started to fill vacancies as they occur. A $50 deposit must be given in person to Jeanne J. at the time of sign-up to confirm your reservation.
If you are unable to register in person on October 11, you may have someone who is not going to retreat complete the registration process for you. The balance will be due by the January BBQG meeting. You may also pay for the retreat in installments, but the final payment is due January 10, 2012 – no exceptions!!! Also, please remember that all participants must have paid their 2011 BBQG dues before signing up for the winter retreat and all participants must have paid their 2012 dues before making their final payment in January. All monies collected are deposited when received. Refunds will be given for emergencies per BBQG by-laws. For more information, please contact Jeanne Johan or Connie Silber
