Retreat Fee
There is a $150 Retreat Fee for individuals attending to cover room and board for the weekend. We are structuring this fee entirely as a scholarship fund so that everyone will choose one leader to sponsor, each individual paying the fee but as a gift to someone else.
When you register, instead of choosing your name, you will choose one person to sponsor and the list will be updated as people get sponsored. We will make sure that each person who pays also gets sponsored. This Retreat Fee is about half of what the event will cost per an individual. ConnectUp is cost sharing at 50% to bless and thank you as leaders.
If the retreat fee would hinder you from attending, please let me know directly by responding to me at this email, and we will do what we can to assist you as we would love for you to still come.
