Holiday Inn North, 801 E Parham 1 804 266-8753
Has 6 singles and 6 doubles for $65/night not including tax. The rooms are reserved under tadams so people need to say that when they call.

Volunteers: If you can volunteer please contact Paula Phipps at 804-262-8237. Partial scholarships can be earned by volunteering.

Covered Dish Supper: We encourage locals to provide main course dishes and out of town guests side dishes. Everyone should prepare a dish to serve 6-8 people. If you have a favorite dish please bring it to share, otherwise consider using the following guidelines to choose the dish to prepare: If your last name begins with A-J please bring a pasta, grain, or vegetable dish. If your last name begins with K-Z please bring a fruit, salad or dessert. Bread and drinks will be provided. If you plan to attend the Supper but are unable to bring a covered dish, please enclose $7 with your registration.

Sunday Brunch: Back by popular demand: freshly cooked waffles with fresh fruit, assorted breakfast delicacies, coffee, tea, and juices. The Sunday brunch is included with full registration.

The Lewis Ginter Recreation Center is in the Ginter Park Historic District at the corner of Walton and Hawthorne. It was built as a public school at the turn of the last century and has wooden floors that are great for dancing. We have obtained the use of the entire building for the weekend. All workshops and meals are held in the center.

A list of local restaurants is available for those who would like to get out and see the city.
