WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SUCCEED
– At every retreat, we ask for some participants to help with cooking & baking. All ingredients will be reimbursed with a $15 honorarium, to pay for your time. PLEASE let us know when you register or a couple of weeks before retreat if you are able to prepare anything.
– ALL participants are asked to help with set up and take down, as well as helping with 1 meal serving or cleanup. A signup list will be available retreat.

THIS YEAR’S APPROACH — MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK
We would like to use a different approach with regards to volunteers. Instead of having just two people do it all, for the 3-days duration of the Retreat, we ask that more people help with specific tasks, such as helping set up the sewing room before the Retreat and putting everything away at the end. Having more people involved would alleviate each individual’s task, be less time consuming and provide more time to sew and enjoy the sisterhood.

If you are willing, able and available to give your Guild a helping hand to make the upcoming retreats a success, whether for cooking/baking or being part of the team, PLEASE LET US KNOW at ctqg.retreats@gmail.com

Thank you Ladies.
Your retreat coordinator,

Catherine Parkinson
