The ACLS Board is planning a Retreat for June 25 – 28, 2018. The purpose of the retreat is to strengthen ACLS as an organization, facilitate camaraderie among members, and conduct educational and inspirational learning opportunities.
The Retreat will be held at The Ridge in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Lake Geneva is located in southeastern Wisconsin in a resort area known for its beautiful lakes and scenery. We have chosen the location in Wisconsin to accommodate the participation of John Buscemi in the retreat. John is one of the leaders instrumental in the liturgical renewal movement of the latter part of the last century, in liturgical consulting and in the formation of the ACLS. John will be a facilitator for the retreat. We are pleased he is interested to be a part of the event!
Attendees would arrive on Monday, June 25th. We will hold workshops throughout Tuesday and Wednesday of that week. There will also be a banquet one of the evenings of the retreat. Attendees would leave to travel back home on Thursday, June 28th.
The Ridge in Lake Geneva is 90 minutes (75 miles) from O’Hare International Airport, 60 minutes (50 miles) from Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee, and 90 minutes (80 miles) from Dane County Regional Airport near Madison, WI. Attendees can likely find opportunities to carpool from airports with other attendees.
We are asking members to commit to the ACLS Retreat by paying registration fee of $125 by March 1, 2018. This commitment covers the costs of the overhead expenses associated with the Retreat, scheduled snack breaks during the retreat, and the banquet.
Attendees will be responsible for covering costs of rooms directly with The Ridge in Lake Geneva upon arrival at the retreat.
The projected cost for the room rental at the Ridge is: $444 for single room occupancy (total for three nights) and $222 for a shared room occupancy (total for three nights).
Travel costs to Lake Geneva and the cost of meals other than snack breaks and the banquet, are not included in the cost projections. Attendees will be responsible for covering costs of rooms directly with The Ridge in Lake Geneva upon arrival at the retreat.
Following receipt of commitments by attendees, the ACLS Board will reserve the meeting spaces and rooms necessary for the attendees who have registered. It is important that we are able to reserve the right number of rooms early in March. The Ridge will fill for the summer months and we want to be able to provide rooms at the Ridge for attendees at a reasonable rate.
If you are interested in attending the ACLS Retreat, please provide the registration fee in the amount of $125 by the end of the day on March 1, 2018. Please also indicate if you would like to have a single or double occupancy at the retreat. To pay the registration fee and reserve your spot use the PayPal link below.
