I have started contacting people to find if there is any interest in attending a reunion of our "Presby" family from Miraj, Wanlesswadi, Sangli, Vengurla, Kolhapur. There seems to be some interest. So the next big hurdle is the where and when. I am thinking Summer of 2012.
1. Menucha Retreat and Conference Center, Portland, OR - About $200/person. This would include meals. We would not be able to do any cooking. The only available date for 2012 is July 26-29. Thurs - Sunday. It is close to the airport.
2. Fort Worden, Olympic peninsula, WA. About $220/person if we have all meals with them. The "houses' we rent all have kitchens so we could do some of our own cooking. Available June 22-25, July 6-9, or Aug 9-12. Not very convenient to the airport.
3. Clearwater Forest, Deerwood, MN - more rustic dorm type rooms shared bathroom. Pay by the building. We would do our out cooking. Only available weekends are June 1-4 and June 8-10. About 2 hours away from the airport. Cheapest choice. About $50 and then however we figure meal.
4.Oak Ridge MN more like a hotel. The food catered. Only pay for the meals we eat. But no place to cook. Convenient to airport. About $109 per double room and then food on top of that.
So these are some ideas. I will continue to research places. Barbara
I would, of course, prefer Washington State, and have a van that seats 8 comfortably. As I live reasonably close to SeaTac airport I would be glad to ferry people to the event.

Thanks, Barb. This is great!
ReplyDeleteWe live in Washington near SeaTac airport and would be happy to shuttle people too. But we will also travel to a more central state if necessary.

#1 looks the best of the choices so far to us. We would vote against #3, although the state of Washington is fine :) And you know me, I don't mind letting someone else do the cooking...
