From Staff Southern Ohio regional retreat, April 12-14th, 2024

[nathan]

With all the winter retreats, you may be thinking, 'does this BF retreat guy have a job'? Well, no, he doesn't right now - that may change, so trying to take advantage of it now.

So I'd like to hear from you if you'd consider coming to an April 12th hotel retreat, and are from the above states, or the NorthEast, because we never seem to get to New England. (Are there actual Yankee's accepting of polygny?) What I have in mind right now is very roughly the I-70/I-77 intersection in east Ohio. Looks convenient for driving, and hotels look cheap(ish). Would have to find one with a meeting room for decent price, so this could shift, an hour any direction.

But we'd want to hear from at least 5 or 6 families that were interested first, before nailing this down. Reply here, or DM me, or write retreats@biblicalfamilies.org and let us know that this location and date is something that would likely work for you! If you haven't had a chance to meet other like-minded families, don't wait, this is the year!

Hey @blessedwith2 , @Rose , @KatjaR . This is closer to y'all. @B1070 .

Too cold for me, though I wear shorts a lot if the year here...

That's an hour from my Grandma. Tempting but doubtful we'd be able to make it up there right in the first couple weeks of gardening season.

It would depend on if there is a large summer retreat in the works. We definitely enjoyed the small group we met in St. Louis. However, we also want to experience the larger retreat and if they were close together we wouldn't be able to go to both of them. If the retreats are close together we will go to the main/larger one.

Thanks for asking!!

Thanks, the big summer retreat is likely August again.

We would probably be interested. Would have to see.

We would be interested, but it depends on if my husband can get off work that weekend.

Hey! Sorry I missed this thread! We would be interested for sure! Travel is tricky from the tip of the Mitt on only one income, but Ohio is plenty close enough!

Well, I am now leaning toward encouraging people to hold out for the big summer retreat, as some interested have changed there minds. I think we'd be too small to make it worthwhile to travel for new folks. Writ us at retreats@biblicalfamilies.org and we'll keep you informed about the summer event.

I'd be interested next time around
