CFRI Teen and Adult Day Retreat

[Guest guest]

Greetings everyone:

Here is the long awaited announcement for the CFRI Teens and

Adults Day Retreat, August 4-8, 2003. As you will read, the

Retreat Committee has made it very affordable and educational

for everyone. Everyone is invited and welcome to the retreat

except those that have cultured B. cepacia or MRSA in the last

two years or currently have a bacteria resistant to all antibiotics.

Enclosed are a letter from Ana Stenzel, Retreat Chair, and a

link to a retreat brochure for your review and deliberations.

Please feel free to forward the announcement and links to any

friends or family who may also be interested in joining us at

the Day Retreat.

If you are unable to download any of the Adobe PDF document

forms or have further questions, please do not hesitate to give

me a call or reply email and I can either fax or " snail mail "

any of the attachments.

Please be mindful of the deadlines for registration, medical

release, and fees.

Regards,

Soohoo

Dear Cystic Fibrosis Teens, Adults and Parents,

It's time for a day retreat! It's time for you to connect with

other CF teens, adults and parents. It's time for you to have

fun! Come to the CFRI day retreat this summer -- we've got it

all! We created a safe place to get away from your routine and

learn from other teens and adults with CF!

We kick-off the retreat Monday afternoon, August 4, 2003 and

finish up Friday morning, August 8, 2003.

The retreat will be held at the Vallombrosa Conference Center in

Menlo Park, California, just minutes from Stanford Hospital.

The posted flyer:

http://www.cfri.org/2003Retreat/Retreat_Brochure_2003.pdf

will provide you directions and other pertinent information on

the Retreat. While we would love to have you there the whole

time, come for as long as you can. CFRI is sponsoring the Day

program only. (Booking of overnight accommodations at

Vallombrosa Conference Center or at local hotels will be the

responsibility of Retreat attendees.)

We are planning to include the following activities in our

retreat: educational sessions, exercise activities, and rap

sessions. Parents, siblings over the age of 15 or guardians can

choose to relax or attend educational events, rap sessions and

recreational activities.

Space is available for all.

Applications will be processed in a first-come, first-served

basis, with preference given to teens and adults with CF.

The cost of this year's Day Retreat will be $40 per person for

the entire week.

We encourage you to collect sponsor donations to help fund raise

for the Day Retreat. Scholarships are available. No one will
