Info from earlier this year:
Well, after much deliberation, I narrowed down the choice of the theme for 2020 to two names. One of the names my sister really liked, and since her death in November, I decided to choose the one she liked, "Sew Into Fall". There were five people who put in that name and I had my husband draw the winner and the winner is "Candy Hansen". She will get $25.00 off of her registration fee for this year. Way to go Candy!
This year's retreat will be November 4-7 at the Zermatt in Midway. The rates will be the same as last year and registration will start April 1, by mail. One person per room is $635, two per room is $430 each, three per room is $360 each and 4 per room is $330 each. This fee includes three nights hotel, six meals, the conference room for sewing and six little gifts (some being made by amazing quilters in our group) and other small incidentals.
There is a one time, non refundable*, registration fee of $75.00, which will need to be submitted to Caisa Hess along with your registration papers. The balance will be due August 15. This is a month later than in previous years, but hoping it will help those who need more time to arrange finances. The registration forms will be in next month's Patchwords and will also be online soon so that you can print them and get them ready to mail.
After reading all of the comments, most wanted to do secret sisters again, but this time we will be asking you some questions about yourself. Most really liked having the secret sister gifts on display for the day, so we will do that. Marilyn Hamblen volunteered to be over the secret sister event. We will have show and tell, but are going to do it a little different this time. We will also have game night. We will again have the "free" and "for sale" tables. Several comments were made about having more design walls. Just so you know, the guild does not have any design walls, those that were up last year belonged to individuals, so if you would like one, now would be the time to invest in getting one for yourself.
$75 deposit is due at time of registration.
*Deposit is non-refundable, unless someone else fills your spot.
We will hold the retreat unless local health and government guidelines at that time prohibit it. If that happens, payments will be refunded.
Make checks payable to UVQG
Remaining balance is due August 15, 2020
Any questions or concerns, please email me, Barb Murdock at heberbarb@gmail.com or 435.671.0263
If sending in UVQG membership with registration, please write a separate check and include the UVQG membership form.
