Retreat Attendees & Room #’s

* Room keys should be on little table in lobby,  just inside Front door of Francis Place Building #40.

** Fill out any requested forms on table, including your license plate number.

*** If you are staying in Marian Hall there is a door code on your room key to access either of two entrance doors (west and east sides of building) to Marian Hall. West entrance (mountains side) is on first floor, east entrance is on ground floor (basement floor).

If you are arriving earlier than 5/20, and you do not see a key table, check with office in Francis Place.

——————-

Please unload your luggage and then park in parking lot north-west of Marian Hall, and not in parking lot in front of Francis Place.  Follow the road around to the right of Marian Hall (heading toward the mountains), parking lot is just beyond the Marian building.

———————–

Be sure to bring your room key with you when you leave your room, especially those sharing a bathroom with another room next to theirs…. your bedroom door automatically locks when you close it behind you, unless you purposefully unlock it yourself before you go out. Otherwise you will have to call the office or the maintenance man on the hallway phone to get back in.

Rooms sharing a bathroom with the next door room are… 13 and 14, 21 and 23, 25 and 26, 33 and 35.

There is a $20 charge for a lost room key.

————————————

*Please keep your bathroom door closed when taking a shower… or you may set off the fire alarm and get an unexpected visit by a group of firemen (ask Duke). If it’s warm enough outside, you may want to open your bathroom window a little to vent any steam build-up in bathroom.

All class sessions & meditations are in the large Woodmen Mtg Room, just inside to the right in Francis Place Bldg #40.

The Bonzel Large Living Room on Ground floor of Marian Hall is open for socializing around the clock.

If you are staying in Francis Place, ask someone staying in Marian Hall for access code to Marian Hall door to gain access to Bonzel Room & small kitchen in Marian. (code used to be something simple, like 1234)

** More than a third of the retreat attendees have been here before, so ask around for help and explore the grounds when you arrive.
