Weather was brutal with Gail force winds and rain but that didn’t stop us from having a great time with our fellow yogi’s.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in our 2023 retreat. Thank you, too, to the 2023 YAGD Retreat Committee: Sharon Holcomb, Valerie Byrd, Jennie Kurth, Patti Nevin, Laura Lermon, and Jan Chekirda, for a wonderful retreat weekend. We were so sad that Sharon, our inimitable Retreat Chairperson, wasn’t able to attend, due to Covid. But thanks to her amazing organizational skills, we were able to smoothly continue.
I’d also like to thank everyone who led a class: Patti Nevin, Jennie Kurth, Valerie Byrd, Charles Baber, Dan Roney, Ken Aubuchon, and to Laura Lerman, who provided massage services. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate – Friday and Saturday had lots of rain, strong winds, cold temperatures, and high waves – whitecaps as far as you could see out in the lake. Sunday was better. A few hardy members even walked the beach despite all that!
Our retreat meals were very good, as always. Saturday began with omelets made to order among other breakfast goodies. Saturday’s soup and salad lunch ended with an ice cream bar. Saturday dinner was a first – a pasta bar, again made to order for each member. Sunday breakfast included eggs cooked per member request. Speaking of meals, thank you to Patti Nevin for organizing our Cadillac House dinner on Friday and the Freighters meal on Sunday.
For YAGD members who have not yet attended the retreat, or for those who haven’t been there in years, please save September 27 – 29, 2024, which is when our next retreat is scheduled. It’s always a wonderful weekend. And there’s nothing better than sleeping next to a Great Lake – unless it’s doing yoga next to a Great Lake!
For your YAGD retreat committee (Jan Chekirda, Patti Nevin, Jennie Kurth, Valerie Byrd, Laura Lerman, and Sharon Holcomb), Jan
