To Register:

·        Fill out the registration form and postmark no earlier than Thursday August 1, 2019 along with a check for $100. This retreat usually does not fill up quickly so I'm taking deposits with registration.

·        Registrations will be accepted pending space availability. I will confirm registration  by email and Ravelry.

·        Full payment is due by October 1, 2019 or you may pay in full at time of registration. Checks may not be cashed immediately so don't worry if your check has not cleared.



Please make check out to Paula Emons-Fuessle. Mail registration (page 3 only) and payment to Knitting Pipeline, PO Box 549, Washington IL 61571



Cancellation Policy

·        All registrations include a $50 non-refundable deposit. That is half of your initial deposit of $100.

·        If you cancel before October 1, 2019 then I will refund your retreat registration less a $50 deposit.

·        After October 1, 2019 refunds are on a case by case basis, dependent upon what expenses can be recovered, whether your place can be filled, etc. I understand that things happen and will do what I can to refund your money.




Notes:




·        The closest airport is General Wayne A Downing International Airport (Peoria=PIA). I recommend flying in on Tuesday unless you rent a car and can drive yourself to Eagle Crest.

·        Wednesday morning and early afternoon will be a great time to visit Washington IL and our local yarn shops; or stay later on Saturday if you like.

·        Meals are served buffet style. Last year our chef accommodated special diets. As this position is subject to change I cannot promise this will be the situation, but I will be certain to let you know if it changes.

·        If you are staying over before or after the retreat, I recommend Sleep Inn.

Sleep Inn 1101 N Cummings Lane, Washington IL 61571 (309) 481-0450

·        If you have a knitting related- business, please contact me about vending, please let me know.

·        The dining hall and meeting area are about a 15 minute walk (on a curvy road) from the Heartland Lodge Rooms so most of us drive to and from the lodge rooms. Other than that, everything is very close and all on one level. If you don't have a car, there are plenty of us who can give you a ride to the lodge.

This is our 4th year at Eagle Crest and I look forward to another wonderful and relaxing retreat!

Haste ye back!

Paula

Pipeliner Notes

As many of you already know I am finishing treatment for Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. The last audio podcast was just before I had surgery, sandwiched between 6 rounds of chemo. I’ve just finished the 6th round, which feels so good! I’m getting my energy back and am eager to get my routine back to normal, including podcasting. I’m going to try recording in segments, as I have a few times in the past and melding them together into an episode OR I might find myself recording the whole thing at once which is preferable.


I can’t even express how much your support has boosted me up during the past 6 months. Your cards and messages of hope and encouragement have definitely improved this health journey. Thank you. I have linked to my Caring Bridge site if you want to follow me there.

She's 4 now! 
And a big birthday kiss!

This girl...always ready for a good book, although she has a deck of cards in her hands.
