  Welcome to retreat!  We are going back to Claggett Center in rural Adamstown, Md.  It is a little over an hour away from Vienna. Your arrival time for housing check-in is noon March 14. The retreat is March 14-16, but an optional add on night is March 16, leaving after breakfast on the 17.  The website is https://www.claggettcenter.org/

  "Take the time to hike one of our trails.  Enjoy a meal on one of our beautiful patios.  Find the perfect spot for a small group discussion or relax in one of our porch rockers and watch a striking sunrise.  It's a Center unlike any other."
  
  The Claggett Center in Adamstown, MD features:
  
  A variety of meeting spaces with free WiFi and a full range of A/V equipment.
  
  Comfortable overnight accommodations for groups both big and small.
  
  On-site dining options, prepared by a dedicated chef.

  NOTE:  If you are sharing a room with someone, and, if you do not have the same number of nights, the person who is single some of the nights will have to pay a "single room surcharge" to be collected by check or cash by the retreat leaders. This is between $22 and $33.

  Custom program created for VQU including a short basic overview of domestic embroidery machine capabilities (e.g., $400 machine vice $12K machine like you explain in one of your UTube videos), how thread makes a difference, embroidery machine quilting (blocks and E2E), making lace (those long strips you can use on clothing, etc) and lace things (ornaments and other cool things), embroidery in the hoop projects (what that’s all about), quilt labels, and whatever else Luci can squeeze in that would be useful for a quilter to know.
