TEXAS ART RETREAT ANNOUNCEMENT
You are invited to a "Do Your Own Thing" art retreat - a relaxing, fun filled gathering of artsy women. You will find it easy to bounce ideas back & forth, share tips, etc. The retreat will be held in Temple, Texas, on September 18-21, arriving on Thursday at 2pm or later and leaving on Sunday by 11am. There is space for 15 people. Total cost $100 per person.
There are two houses on the property available to retreat attendees. Rooms/beds are available on a first come, first served basis. There is a $40 deposit upon signing up for the retreat that becomes non-refundable on August 15. The balance is due when you arrive at the retreat. Driving directions to Green Oaks Farm will be available at a later date.
You will gather in the Allen House for art time and meals. Shared tables will be set up in the lanai where there is a wall of windows that affords a wonderful woodland view. You will find this to be a lovely relaxing setting. Bring your art kits and whatever you want to work on for the weekend and join in the fun and camaraderie!
Amenities: There are living rooms and TVs in each house so that you have a place to get away if you care to. The Allen House also has a small quiet room that can be used for reading, etc. There are lots of windows, patios, and seclusion. Go to www.greenoaksfarm.com to view the property.
