- You are encouraged to bring drinks and snacks to have on hand in your rooms to meet your family’s needs.

- Attached you will find the schedule for all the activities that the committee has planned for you.
- If you own a telescope, it would be great to bring it along, as we will be doing some star gazing off the outdoor balcony.
