CAMP TRILLIUM RETREAT INFORMATION Stephanie Sinden Hopefully, this will give you all the information you need about our first Camp Trillium Retreat. Friday, November 1 from 1pm until Sunday, November 3 at 3pm The best place to see photos of Camp Trillium is on our website, on our Camp Trillium Page! We have a number of lessons and activities planned, or you can sew all day and night! It is your retreat! We will be sleeping in the cabins, 2-3 people per room with 3 rooms in each cabin. Lower bunks only! Full washroom facilities in each cabin. Fully heated! You need to bring your own bedding and towels. The cost is $200 for all 3 days and 2 nights. If you wish a single room, it would be $230. For insurance purposes, every attendee must be a current guild member. Several of our members are bringing sisters or friends, and they will need to join the guild for the year. But then they can come to our meetings and workshops! There is room for 50 quilters to have their own big table, with power coming from the ceiling. We have 35 registered now and we are hoping to have more of our members there. Because we have 30 campers, the required number for the camp rental, we can now open the registration to day campers. This is per-fect for members who are busy on one of the camp days. And for members who are not able to sleep over! You can sign up for 1, 2 or all 3 days. $50 each day includes all the meals that day. Day campers can stay as late as they’d like at night. There will be a wine tasting and food pairing on Friday night, so drink responsibly if you are driving! The Camp Registration Form is attached to this newsletter. Please print it out, fill in your camping details and bring it to the September meeting. Along with the balance of the money you owe for the retreat. Most attendees have paid the $100 deposit. Don’t worry if you haven’t kept track, we have a master list! All meals are home cooked, and they can cater to most allergies and food sensitivities. Our tentative menu is: Friday afternoon snack. Muffins Friday dinner. Chicken Souvlaki with pitas, homemade tzatziki and Greek salad Saturday breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toasted bagels with cream cheese and jam, fresh
fruit, yogurt and cereal Saturday lunch. 2 Soups, with Rainbow salad and assorted wraps Saturday afternoon snack Muffins Saturday dinner. Vegetable and meat lasagna with garlic rolls and Rainbow salad Sunday breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toasted bagels with cream cheese and jam, fresh
fruit, yogurt and cereal Sunday lunch. Chili and Cobb Salad with homemade corn muffins Coffee and tea are always available and there is a frig where you can keep your special foods. Please, NO PEANUTS! Our only restriction. Responsible alcohol use permitted. And there is Wi-Fi throughout all the buildings! There is lots of room at the camp and we can spread out in the various buildings and sitting rooms. We will have an area set up in the dining room with tables together so you can easily baste your quilts.

We are having Russell Carroll from Norwich set up on Saturday to do sewing machine maintenance and scissor sharpening. A sewing machine clean, oil, tension and timing check would be $125. Repairs available if needed. Scissor and pinking shears would be $8 each. I am planning on sewing on my smaller workshop machine and bringing my big machine in for cleaning. It will be one more thing to lug to camp, but it will save me having to take my machine somewhere, do without it for a week and go back for it! Perfect! We are taking appointments for this service. The Retreat Program committee is Patti M, Donna P, Vicki M. Jill J, Terry A and Stephanie S. Contact them if you have any questions or suggestions.
