Retreat Wrap-up
The comments about retreat were generally positive :) Here are the highlights
Areas of Concern

- make sure someone comes around to help with noisy rooms.
Positives :)
- inflatables- girls loved them
- night swim - always an enjoyable activity for the girls
- face paints - they loved the fact they stayed on longer this year
- mirror game was excellent
Connect (formerly chartering)
Chartering is changing to Be Connected. The Network staff wants to be available to you and your church as a resource. In order to do so we need to know who is out there. There is a suggested offering of $25 to help offset the cost of mailings and promotional materials. IF your girls girls like the membership cards and certificates it is requested you send $1 additional per girl for those and they will be mailed to you.
If this is done by Sept 30 your leaders will receive discounts at events!
The form is available on line at http://www.ohioministry.net/586016.ihtml

I will also post it as a file in the tabs portion of our Area GM Blog for your convenience.
