Congratulations to our Spring 2020 QOTC!

Congratulations, Carol!!!

New - Making Reservations at the Sheraton!

NEW FOR FALL '19 - please book your room at the Novi Sheraton using our Fall '19 group link:  https://www.marriott.com/events/start.mi?id=1567018246968&key=GRP 
You can still call Marriott reservations or the Novi Sheraton directly but booking via our group link is the preferred method.   

You can access the links to our group rates on the side of our blog by under "Future Dates" and clicking on the weekend of your choice. 

Occasionally our group rate may be temporarily unavailable.  If this is the case, please book your room anyway, contact your retreat organizer and let her know about the rate issue.  We'll have the hotel release more rates under our group rate and your rate will be adjusted accordingly.

Need more info or a registration form?  Please click & email a retreat organizer: Kathy, Debi, Lisa or Christie.

Our Fall QOTC Sharon

Congratulations, Sharon - our Fall 2019 Queen of the Crop!

The Queen of the Crop enjoys an early check in time, and lots of treats during the weekend of her reign including a special goody basket filled with items customized to her liking.  See your retreat organizer during the weekend for more info about how you can be our next QOTC! 

Mary, our QOTC

Cheryl & Mary

It is with very heavy hearts that we share that Mary, our Spring '19 Queen of the Crop, lost her battle with breast cancer in November.  

Scrapbooking and memory keeping were very important for Mary and we thought that we could come together  to help Mary's family to continue to preserve their memories.

We will be donating an album and items to Brian (Mary's husband) so that he & their son, Austin can continue to preserve their memories.  A table will be in Kathy's room downstairs to collect pre-decorated pages and they can add photos at a later time.  Kathy discussed this idea with Brian and Cheryl (Mary's sister and cropping buddy.)  They are very touched by this act of kindness as they know how important scrapbooking and memory keeping was for Mary. 

We hope you'll take some time out of your weekend to put a page or two together.  All themes are welcome - holiday, birthday, school pages, etc.   Austin is in second grade and will be making his first communion this year.  

Rest in peace, Mary.  You are missed.
