Food and Fellowship
Enjoy a dinner with the group on Thursday night in the Thielsen room. Lisa will bring a light dinner up to share on Thursday night for those who assisted with set-up. On Friday night, please join your fellow quilters for a Dutch treat dinner at the restaurant downstairs (pay on your own). Saturday is our traditional Potluck lunch at noon…Bring something to share and I know everything is going to be great. Bring a fun snack to put out on the treat table too for all to enjoy over the retreat. So many yummy things!
Hotel Accommodation: Each attendee is responsible for arranging their own housing at the lake, and many participants opt to share a rental (cabin, motel room, kitchenette studio) with other retreat attendees at the Resort. The Diamond Lake Resort offers many different types of accommodations and different price points. There is an RV park and a campground too if you wish to “rough it”. Some of the attendees bring family members with them too. They are welcome to join us during our potluck on Saturday and during the Dutch Treat Dinner on Friday night. The lake might be frozen still, but no midges should be flying around. Important Tip: Be sure to call the Diamond Lake Resort directly at 541-793-3333 to make your reservation and mention the quilter’s discount to take advantage of special pricing! (This discount isn’t available for online bookings or through third-party services.) If this is your first time visiting Diamond Lake in September, don’t hesitate to chat with Lisa for helpful advice on accommodations or anything else you might need to make your stay comfortable.
We can’t wait to head back to the lodge with all of you!
Warmest Regards, Lisa, Sam, Danielle & Kathy
