FALL CREATIVE ARTISTS RETREAT
September 24-28, 2025 at Camp Alexander Mack
This year's retreat is now at capacity!  Those who have registered will receive an email in July with information about the retreat, but here is a heads-up on an art project some like to complete at home.
It has been a tradition to exchange 4"x 4" cards with collage or other media and a favorite quote. It is not required, but participants have enjoyed receiving a bit of artwork from friends. If you do NOT wish to participate in this activity please reply to this newsletter so we have a count for those who do.
