Agenda

Wisdom Woman Weekend will begin with check-in at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, February 19 and concludes at 12:00 noon on Sunday, February, 21.

Friday, 2/19

After arrival and a break to settle in (5:30 pm), there will be a brief "Intro Meeting" in the Great Room, followed by a Wine & Cheese reception in the Dining Room.

Friday evening's dinner will consist of "Group Soup". Each Wisdom Woman will be asked to bring one fresh ingredient for a soup that will combine our unique gifts into one pot. Your ingredient request will be emailed to you along with the final confirmation documents for the weekend, approximately one week prior to the event.

To accompany the soup, fresh bread and salad will be provided. Tea, water and fruit drinks will also be available. All other beverages are the responsibility of each individual participant (alcohol is permitted).

Saturday, 2/20

In order to keep the weekend cost affordable for all, each participant is responsible for bringing their own Saturday breakfast food. The kitchen can be used by all and the walk-in refrigerator is big enough to store your personal needs. Some may want to bring eggs and team up in that effort. Others may wish to have fresh fruit with yogurt or cereal with milk.

NOTE: Our Daily Grain has generously offered to donate individual serving containers of California Porridge! If this idea tickles your taste buds, please indicate the porridge breakfast selection on your registration form.

Saturday lunch (12 pm), afternoon snack (3:30 pm), dinner (7:00 pm) and Sunday brunch (10:30 am) will be catered by Lori Hofmann from California Girl Catering. Please indicate any dietary restrictions you may have on the registration form.
