This was another fabulous MSQG retreat! All of the attendees had a wonderful time in spite of the chilly weather and sometimes snowy conditions. On Saturday we had another potluck with the usual assortment of delicious dishes to enjoy.
If you haven’t been to one of the previous Diamond Lake Retreats, hopefully the following photos will encourage you to join us for the upcoming September 20-22, 2024 retreat at Diamond Lake!
