Facilities:
Once again, the setting for the fall conference is the rustic Menucha Retreat and Conference Center, situated atop a bluff overlooking the Columbia Gorge near Corbett, Oregon. The picturesque lodge, spacious gardens, and winding paths make this an exceptionally pleasant location. BUT, the Columbia Gorge can be cold in October, so please bring warm clothes and rain gear if you plan to spend some time walking on the grounds. The Menucha telephone number is 503-695-2243. Here are directions to the center. Registration and meals will be in Wright Hall.
Accommodations/Food/What to bring:
Menucha has comfortable dormitory-style rooms with some bunk beds (lower bunks only). Linens (pillow, blankets, sheets, towel, washcloth) are provided.
Your registration fee includes: Thursday lunch, dinner, entertainment and lodging, Friday breakfast, and snacks. Please note on your registration form if you prefer vegetarian meals.
Be sure to bring clothes that layer easily (attendees go in- and out-doors regularly) and rain gear. We also encourage you to bring puzzles & games for Thursday evening entertainment!
