WMF Celebration Weekend / Annual Meeting, April 23 - 25

All members of Washington Mennonite Fellowship churches are invited to CAMREC for a celebration weekend and annual meeting.  Participants will be encouraged to attend as many scheduled activities as they like, but are welcome to pursue other recreation options such as hiking, mountain biking, tennis, basketball, boating at Lake Wenatchee, etc.  Some children’s activities are being planned including an egg hunt that will involve orienteering for older kids.

 

There will be no charge for meals and lodging.  However, we ask that you bring your own Friday evening meal and something beautiful, tasty, creative or useful to donate for a silent auction.  You can also bring musical instruments, games, and snacks or drinks to share.

 

Please RSVP by April 9th at http://camrec.org/programs/annual-meeting/

or contact Brad Roth (bradroth@wardenmennonite.org, 509-349-2444)
