SUMMER RETREAT 2009 GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information regarding Dress: We recommend that you dress casually for the entire retreat including the Spiritual sessions. The SHACK is located next to a small lake. The lake has paddle boats and and some members have been fishing in the lake. It is surrounded by a wooded area with trails. The rooms are very nice, but you will be in a semi-rustic, semi-wooded area. For that reason, the customary suits and ties that men are used to wearing to conventions are not required, nor do women have to dress in the customary "convention" mode. All things decent and in order as you are led by the Holy Spirit.
Restaurants: Some of you attending the retreat may elect not to have dinner meals at THE SHACK or may want to supplement your SHACK provided meals by eating outside of THE SHACK. There are not a many restaurants in Jugville and White Cloud since they are very small towns. However, there are a few in White Cloud that serve lunch and dinner meals comparable to THE SHACK. Most attendees have eaten in the local restaurants and been happy with them. Also, if you are willing to drive 5 to 10 miles away from White Cloud there are more restaurant choices in some of the neighboring towns.
Alternate Accommodations: Some of you attending the retreat may elect not to stay at THE SHACK, or if the SHACK gets filled and you want a recommendation for another place to stay, other attendees have stayed at the OAKRIDGE MOTEL in Newaygo, Michigan, right off highway M37, (about a 15-20 minute drive from THE SHACK) or the The Harrington Inn in Freemont.
The Oakridge Motel is not fancy, but the rooms are clean and inexpensive. Approximate Room rates (as of August 98) range from: $48.00 per night for one person, $56.00 per night for two persons, Rooms with kitchens range from $65.00 to $69.00. The phone number for the OAKRIDGE MOTEL is (231) 652 -1288. There is an Oakridge restaurant that serves pretty good food right across the Parking Lot from the motel.
