2026 BVQ Retreat
This is the first communication from the 2026 retreat committee (Tea Sauri, Susan Mayer & Jean Brennan). Our plan is to communicate at least a little something every month and make sure everyone is informed and excited about next year’s event!
First, we are delighted to confirm that the 2026 retreat has been booked at the Eden Resorts and Suites for April 29th to May 2nd.
Most of the details for this year’s retreat are the same as prior years:
Once we receive all the deposits and forms, we will send out a survey to get your input about food preferences. We want to accommodate as many requests/preferences as possible! Please keep in mind that our menu selections will directly impact the cost of the retreat. The survey will try to gauge food preferences with what everyone is willing to spend. And like just about everything else, food costs at the hotel have really skyrocketed and so we probably will need to spend a little more next year no matter what we choose. The hotel policy is that final prices for menu selections are only available 90 days prior to the event. We’ll be able to provide the final cost for the retreat as soon as we lock in our final food selections and prices.
Second, volunteers are the glue that holds this event together, and we are looking forward to hearing from all of you about what you are interested in helping with (sewing for swag bags, door prizes, etc.) Many people have already volunteered, but we don’t want to miss anyone. We’ll include a question about this in the upcoming survey, and in addition, you can let Tea, Susan or Jean know. We will also have sign-up sheets at the guild meetings. We’ll be recapping all of this and other exciting details at the August guild meeting. In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact:

Most of the details for this year’s retreat are the same as prior years:
- A non-refundable $100 deposit along with the registration form reserves your spot.• The deposit is nonrefundable unless you find someone to take your place.
- We have 55 spots available, which we anticipate filling with guild members. If we have spots available after all guild members have registered, we will open to nonguild members.
- We will be collecting deposits and forms at the August guild meeting and would love to get this step out of the way as soon as possible.
