We're moving quickly toward the time for the Naznet Conference & Retreat (http://holinessonthedirtroad.blogspot.com/)! As of right now, there are just about two more weeks before the prices go up. So register and make a payment today!

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Registrations have continued to come in. As of today (April 15, 2010), 15 people have registered with 10 of those being confirmed registrations (have paid or down-paid).

Here are the names of people who have registered and have agreed to let y'all know:
Ken Burton
Edwin Deventer
Hans Deventer
Gord Evans
Kazimiera Fraley
Doug Kitchen
Tom Oord
John Reilly
Mike Schutz
Dennis Scott
Jeremy Scott
Jon Twitchell

(And there are a couple of others from whom I don't yet have permission to tell the world about their registration. :o)

[Shea Zellweger]

Just wond'rin. Would it be possible to pop in for a visit for one evening?

[Mike Schutz]

If I weren't already on that list, I would make sure to register once I saw all the fine people who will be there. Imagine, beautiful New Hampshire in the fall, good conversation, fine fellowship, and even a bit of controversy. Who could ask for more?

[James Diggs]

I really want to come to this, but I won't know if I will be able to until much closer to the date.

[Ryan Scott]

I've officially declined the event invitation on Facebook. I'd like to think something will miraculously happen to allow me to come, but at this point, with our move this summer and some other planned trips it's going to be too much.

I apologize that I won't be there. I am a presenter at the Pennical Program Conference that is scheduled for the same dates.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Just wond'rin. Would it be possible to pop in for a visit for one evening?

It is possible, but not without paying something due to Windsor Hills' regulations. Send me an e-mail.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Just a quick note:

It's not too late to register! I hope I didn't imply that somehow above. This thread is posted in hopes that MORE people register. In fact, if no one else does, the whole thing will be in serious jeopardy of happening. To be clear, as of right now, you can register months from now, but for much higher rates. However, as I already said, we need more people pretty soon to be able to ensure our ability to pay the minimum requirement for Windsor Hills.

Here are the rates, which go up on the first of May. To get the current rates, you need to register and pay a downpayment.

Early Registration (before 1st of May):
2 nights - $130
3 nights - $160
4 nights - $190

Registration (1st of May or after)
2 nights - $150
3 nights - $180
4 nights - $210

Late Registration (1st of August or after):
2 nights - $170
3 nights - $200
4 nights - $230

[David Troxler]

Jeremy,
What is the downpayment pre-registration amount?

[David Troxler]

I apologize that I won't be there. I am a presenter at the Pennical Program Conference that is scheduled for the same dates.

Dave,
As is our tradition around here when we meet people who are posting for the first few times (I see you have only 8 posts), Welcome to NazNet!

How about some very good wine. Perhaps the Europeans will bring some form Italy.

[John Reilly]

How can we have a NAZNET retreat without the NAZNET father himself?

[Hans Deventer]

Jeremy,
What is the downpayment pre-registration amount?

David, it is $ 50. See http://holinessonthedirtroad.blogspot.com/2010/01/registration-asdfasdf-loading.html

[Jeff Scott]

I'm attending a SBC right now. But I haven't joined yet. I'll bring the whine.:tongue:

[Mike Wooldridge]

If Hans and Edwin bring the wine, do we still have someone to bring the cheese?

[Jim Chabot]

If Hans and Edwin bring the wine, do we still have someone to bring the cheese?

Maybe Wilson will send the cheese if he is unable to go himself. It would be a nice gesture.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Today is the last day to get the early bird rate! Be sure and register here (http://holinessonthedirtroad.blogspot.com/2010/01/registration-asdfasdf-loading.html) and submit at least a $50 down payment to lock in the rate.

[Jon Twitchell]

Arggh... Have I sent in a downpayment? Can I PayPal it?

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Arggh... Have I sent in a downpayment? Can I PayPal it?

There were payment instructions (including Paypal) in an e-mail sent after you registered. I'll send it again. :-)

[Jon Twitchell]

Sorry... found it... I had to wait until after Apr 1, and then got wrapped up with Easter, Annual Meeting, and vacation. You should have mail. ;)

[Kazimiera Fraley]

Jeremy,
I too am doubting that I sent in my down payment. will you resend the same e-mail to me as well

[Wilson Deaton]

Sorry, but I never noticed anything about giving permission or not giving permission to tell the world or I would have given permission...

Hey World, I'm registered and paid!!!

Wilson

[Wilson Deaton]

Maybe Wilson will send the cheese if he is unable to go himself. It would be a nice gesture.

Everyone would have to sign a Green Bay Packer allegiance document before I could share any of our cheese with them!

My wife's Wisconsin Birth Certificate exempts me, right?

[Wilson Deaton]

My wife's Wisconsin Birth Certificate exempts me, right?

It would except that with all that I've learned from right-wing NazNetters, I doubt you could convince me that the birth certificate is authentic.

Wilson

[John Hine]

Our pastor Rev. Gabe Asher will be there. Please add him to the list. We will pay his registration fee on Sunday.

[Ryan Plott]

Is this a regular occurrence? I won't be able to attend this year but would love to attend some other time.

[Hans Deventer]

Well, not yet. It's the first NazNet conference ever accessible to all. The NazNet ladies did have 2 retreats in the past.

well if you all decide it's worth doing again let me know. i'd love to go.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

We're coming up quickly on the next rate increase deadline (just under two weeks away!). Now would be a great time to register (http://holinessonthedirtroad.blogspot.com/) for those who have been waiting until closer to the date.

[Kazimiera Fraley]

I just noticed I am the only gal on the list. Where are all the ladies of Naznet? I thought there was at least one who told me she was coming.

[Hans Deventer]

I just noticed I am the only gal on the list. Where are all the ladies of Naznet? I thought there was at least one who told me she was coming.

And you are right, we actually have 3 ladies listed but not all wanted their names listed on the forum.

[Mike Schutz]

Kaza,
We are trying to figure out a way for Esther to work it into her schedule to come. She really wants to be there, but it would use up all of her time off of school for the entire year, and that is not a good idea so early in the year.

[David Troxler]

Kaza,

My wife Karen and I are registered to attend.

[Martijn van Beveren]

I am interested to come, but I my work won't let me, since I already did the LDRSHP2010 in Switserland my avail.days off are on the meager side...

Hopefully there will be a next time. I would love to be inspired!

[Dennis M. Scott]

This event is rushing at us, now. Regarding foliage, we will be a little early, and due to a dry season predictions are a little less colorful fall. Last weekend I was at the lake in northwest Vermont, and trees that traditionally turn early - swamp maples - had yet to change. We will have color, but peak season will likely be a couple weeks later. I'm getting excited about our gathering.

[Marsha Lynn]

This event is rushing at us, now... I'm getting excited about our gathering.

In a different life, I would so be a part of that gathering! My heart will certainly be there. Hope it's as blessed as in my imagination!

I love Naznet and Naznetters!

[John Reilly]

Jeremy, would you please post the retreat schedule and a list of those attending?

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Jeremy, would you please post the retreat schedule and a list of those attending?

An email with some details and schedule has been sent out to all who have registered and down-paid. Sorry for the email, but I have forgotten the distinguishment between who has and hasn't given me permission to publicly post their presence at the retreat.

There are a number of people who have said/implied that they are coming. Just to note - if you did not get an email from me today and you believe that you are coming, it that means that:
1. You registered on the online form, but never sent in any payment; or
2. I have the wrong email address for you; or
3. Perhaps it went to your spam folder. Check there; or
4. I made some other mistake. :-)

We're not meaning to exclude anyone, so if you're planning on showing up next week and didn't get an email, please contact me ASAP so we can see where we went wrong. :-)

I'm greatly looking forward to our time together.

[Kevin Rector]

Hey all, I'm responsible for coordinating a group event of some variety on Sunday afternoon for about 2.5 hours. I've never been to the camp there, so if anyone has any ideas of what we can do (even if it's off the campgrounds and we need to drive a bit) please let me know.

[Kazimiera Fraley]

We could go canoeing, hiking but 2.5 hours is not a very long hike; We can all go visit the local Nazarene Pastor in Henniker - I am sure he would love it if we all just dropped by ;)
Um Petersborough, NH is nice and not too far away, for that Matter there is a nice little bakery and stuff like that in Hillsborough. You know who you should ask - Melissa DeBono.

[Ryan Scott]

I believe the birthplace of President Franklin Pierce is just down the road.

[Mark Metcalfe]

The color is not peak, but I kind of like the "color coming on" period before peak color. Visitors will have a great show! Here are some covered bridge photos from yesterday and today (9/23 and 9/24).

Mark

[John Reilly]

I believe the birthplace of President Franklin Pierce is just down the road.

Yes. Debbie and I have toured the Presidential homestead. It has all the modern conveniences of its day including a two seater in door out house. A must see.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Kevin and/or Dave P., I suggest you remove the sticky for this thread, perhaps even close it, and let it slide down the board now. Registration is closed and we're headed up this weekend.

[Kevin Rector]

I believe the birthplace of President Franklin Pierce is just down the road.

It appears that the Presidential home will be closed, I'm trying to confirm that today.

[Kevin Rector]

I'm guessing I better pack some long sleeves eh?

[David Troxler]

Kevin, the Franklin Pierce homestead/museum website looks like it might be closed now for the season.

Also within an hour drive is the Canterbury Shaker Village. That is open through October. www.shakers.org

[Ryan Scott]

I'm guessing I better pack some long sleeves eh?

Pack for the same time of year in Wisconsin; you'll be fine.

[Kevin Rector]

Pack for the same time of year in Wisconsin; you'll be fine.

I've kind of forgotten what that's like, it's been in the low 80s here.

[Melissa DeBono]

Kevin. Pack long sleeves. Always. Even in August in can be chilly. October can be winter!

I do know the area well, but something tells me the demographic won't be in to antique shopping as a bonding experience! There is a rustic trail ON the camp ground to a pretty unique geological formation that might be just the right length of a hike for 2.5 hours. I might be the only one attending that could get you there, and I'd be willing. But, that might be better suited to a group of 5 or 6. I don't know if there are enough canoes to accomodate the whole group at the same time. Let me think a little more about suggestions.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

I haven't been there myself, but every year that we've had our church retreat at WH, a whole group goes to some used book store somewhere that they all love.

Dan Whitney took Steve Green and me there this summer. Outstanding!

Why is that, Jeremy ... because such places can be extremely dangerous for some people [self included]? ;)

Why?!

[Ryan Scott]

Is that awful Chinese food restaurant still there in Hillsboro? That was always an adventure.

[Jeremy D. Scott]

HEY! That's where Meghan and I ate right after we got engaged.

[Dennis M. Scott]

HEY! That's where Meghan and I ate right after we got engaged.

As Ryan said, that's always an adventure! Great adventure!

I've always marvelled that said restaurant has lasted that long, in Hillsboro. I disagree with Ryan, because I've had a number of good meals there: almost all of them have been good. Hillsboro, NH, just isn't the first community I'd think of for a great Chinese food. San Pan, I believe is its name.

[G R 'Scott' Cundiff]

Bless all of you! I hope you have a wonderful, productive time together.

I have no complaints about the food, just not a lot of compliments.

[Melissa DeBono]

Sam Pan is the name of the mediocre Chinese restaurant. I can't remember the name of the aweful one.

[Jim Chabot]

Used book store!! Now your talking! More than makes up for the lack of an internet connection.

[Marsha Lynn]

Bless all of you! I hope you have a wonderful, productive time together.

Ditto!

[Dennis M. Scott]

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that one. I wasn't brave enough to go in there.

[Dana Grant]

Looking forward to all the pictures!!!! I hope the photography board is LOADED with them!!! :)

[Jeremy D. Scott]

Looking forward to all the pictures!!!! I hope the photography board is LOADED with them!!! :)

It's funny: I looked at my little point-and-shoot Panasonic this morning as I was packing and laughed at the thought of it being in the same room as Tom Oord and Hans Deventer. I'll rely on them for photos. :-)

[Melissa DeBono]

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that one. I wasn't brave enough to go in there.

Bravery can be compelled with adequate amounts of parental pressure.

[Jon Twitchell]

Just saying 'Hello' from the nearby McD's. John Reilly and I slipped out after supper to check email and such.

Retreat is going well... wonderful times of discussion... and opportunities for learning more about the people (and hearts) behind the internet postings. It's been a time of great fun... sharing of experiences, and even some good food (though the coffee leaves a little to be desired!)

Thanks for your prayers! The retreat wraps up on Monday, though some will be slipping out earlier to attend to other responsibilities.
