Only a few weeks to go now - just over two in fact and life is beginning to get very frenzied in Adelaide. Apart from ongoing hassles with venues, the committee is getting it together and I can assure you, we will be ready for the onslaught of 150 enthusiastic quilters, come the weekend of the Retreat.
We spent last Saturday putting together the goodie bags and the raffle gift bags and thanks to our very generous sponsors, we have many treats in store for you. If you are lucky enough to become a recipient of one of our prizes, please thank the donors by email, phone or post. They do appreciate your thanks and are more likely to become repeat donors if they feel appreciated. Check out the list of sponsors on the Retreat website and if you happen to be visiting one of them, please tell them how grateful you are for their support.
Committee members filling goodie bags. The photo is a bit blurred because they were moving so fast around the table. LOL!!
Unfortunately I forgot to get a photo of the finished pile of bags, but Maxine's long front hallway was filled with bags.

This is Maxine's lounge and the boxes of donations left after the goodie bags were finished.Tagging - A reminder about getting your electrical tools tagged before the Retreat if you can. Otto Windler will be able to do emergency tagging on the Friday evening at a cost of $5.50 per item, but it is emergency only. He is coming from work and will have a limited time in which to do the required tagging. Please help us by doing as much as you can before you get here.
Car parking. Under cover carparking is available next to the Grand for Retreatees. The cost per day will be $7 and if you want 24 hour parking, it will cost $15 a day. Valet service is $20 per day. Car parking is available in the nearby streets, but on a weekend it is like hens' teeth.
Not sure how many sleeps to go - BUT it is not very many. Get moving on those challenges, siggy squares, angel gifts and your packing!!!
