    Our spring retreat is a great time to focus on a project or three, spend some time at the beautiful Cacapon State Park, and get to know some your sister members.  The lodge was recently remodeled and is truly beautiful.  The park has great hiking trails and wonderful views.  It is less than two hours from the Fairfax area.  The restaurant is quite good, but it's not far to drive into Berkley Springs if you want something different.  There is also a spa if you want a massage or facial.

    This year, we're starting on Wednesday since some of our out-of-town members would like an extra day.   The only charge for this day is for the room.

    You can make your $150 deposit here or you can ask for an invoice and send a check to Eugenia Bodnar.  You'll be notified about the remainder once we know how many members are registered.  The total amount includes lodging (not food).    

    Double rooms have a refrigerator and microwave.  Single rooms only have a refrigerator.
