Greetings!

 While Spring is a long way off, it is time to start promoting the retreat to your ladies!  There have been changes, so please READ CAREFULLY. 

 Debbie Adams, International Worker from Indonesia, will be our keynote speaker.  We are excited to have her share with us!  There will also be a chance to hear briefly from the other IWs on home assignment. 

This year, in lieu of a silent auction, the attendees will have the privilege of shopping at Mercy Markets. Mercy Markets provides items created by artisans from outside the United States who work to support their families and avoid becoming victims of sex trafficking. You can find some beautiful gifts here!

The Embassy Suites guaranteed room block opens on January 15 and closes on March 15, 2023, so be sure you register ASAP when the link opens!  An attempt to book after March 15 will be subject to room availability at Embassy Suites. If you wait, you may have to find lodging elsewhere. The rates listed below include two nights stay and two breakfasts.

                        1 per room                  $355 + tax

                        2 per room                  $216 + tax

                        3 per room                  $169.68 + tax

                        4 per room                  $146.50 + tax

Each room is a two-room suite with a living room/queen sleeper sofa/table with chairs/microwave and fridge in one room, and either a King bed or two doubles in the other room.  You will need to specify which type of room you desire.  DO NOT LIST YOUR TEENS (AGES 12-18) IN YOUR ROOM OR YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY THE ADULT RATE FOR THEM!  Rooms should have no more than 4 occupants! 

5 and under eat free*

6-12 are $47

13-99 and commuters are $77

*We encourage only nursing mothers bring their babies so that they can enjoy the full retreat.  There will be no childcare provided, nor a nursing mother’s room as the hotel rooms are so close.

The Alliance Women event registration window is the same as the hotel booking window.

Remember, you will need to make two separate payments. The AW event registration fee covers lunch and dinner on Saturday which are not included in the Embassy Suites room fee. Meals provided will have gluten-free options. Friday supper is not included this year, so be sure to plan to bring your evening meal, eat before you arrive, or go out to eat before the evening service. 

I realize this is a lot of information, but we want to make sure everyone understands the process! 

 We will be sending more detailed reservation and registration instructions at a later time.  Please reach out to your Area Rep or to Debbie Zink (aw.dzink@gmail.com) if you have any questions.

 Looking forward to all that the Lord has for us TOGETHER at Spring Retreat 2023!
