Community Connectors Retreat
Presented by SAFE WA and Network Members

The Annual Community Connectors Retreat, for 2009, is fast approaching!

This year's retreat will be happening in Yakima, WA over the weekend of August 21-23, 2009. Registration and welcome starts at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, with the retreat wrapping up about noon on Sunday.

Ryan, from Youth 'N Action, has been handling the registration process for the retreat. He is, however, being swamped by phone calls and emails, with folks asking for details of the workshops, the location, how to get there, etc.

So, in an attempt to give Ryan an assist, I am posting the details here, and he will be able to have folks visit our brand new website, and get their questions answered.

So, here we go...

The first question: Where is the retreat being held?

This year SAFE WA is holding the Community Connectors Retreat in Yakima, WA. And the exact address is:

Howard Johnson Convention Center
9 North 9th Street
Yakima, WA 98901

If you need driving directions, I have had great experience with Google Maps and also with Mapquest, or use the online map service that you're comfortable with.

Next question: What is the Howard Johnson Convention Center like?

The best way to find out is to check it at yourself, follow this link Yakima Howard Johnson. There are some pictures of the hotel, the amenities, and even nearby restaurants and activities.

Next question: Can I see the schedule of workshops and activities?

Certainly, here is the tenative schedule, which you can print out or save to your computer. There may be an adjustment or two by the time the retreat rolls around, since we are still working out the last details. You will receive the complete schedule, with any revisions, when you check in...

I hope I have answered the most frequent questions for you. I will see you at the Community Connectors Retreat.

Remember to drive safely!
