  • Breakfast Roundtables — a time for conversation around the breakfast table about topics that may be top of mind for you.  If you have an idea, share it at the registration desk and we will add it to a bulletin board and identify a table for the topic for Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast.

  • Everyone coming is invited to contribute either a short quote you’d like to share, or a few photos of your community, or both.

    If you can bring large prints/color printouts, great. If not, you may email images to Toby at tobymommsen@ccimail.com

    Around letter-size is good for photos. Label with community or family name… and drop them off at check-in area when you arrive.

    Quotes can be printed in a large font (36 pt) on letter-size paper for posting. Anything relating to our theme would be great.

    We’ll post these on a bulletin board in our meeting space, forming a ‘mosaic’ of images and inspirations from our diverse group… to help us visualize each other’s home settings.

Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
