“The Secret Is Out – Be Of Service – It Feels Good”

The Retreat Steering Committee would like to invite you to participate in the Retreat by working on an Activity Committee: work a shift at the registration desk, hospitality table, set-up or clean-up crews, be a meal server, a cook, a coffee maker, wash dishes or clean-up after a meal.  Perhaps your group would like to take responsibility for an entire meal.  The service opportunities are endless.  In past years, a group from Ukiah has hosted a breakfast – as did another from Chico and another from Yuba City.  Your participation would certainly be appreciated. 

YES!  I would like to be of service as follows                                                                                                  .
