18,
2007, at the Warner Springs Ranch Conference Center in Warner Springs, CA.
Nestled in the rolling foothills of Palomar Mountain, within a one-and-a-half hour drive from San Diego, lies a legendary resort - The historic Warner Springs Ranch. Established in 1844, it has been serving up western hospitality to travelers since the days of the old west Butterfield Overland Stage Coach. You'll quickly fall under the spell of its relaxed, rustic charm. The Ranch is made up of 240 cozy cottages, most with fireplaces and mini-refrigerators, but without the intrusion of television or telephones. Hiking, swimming, horseback riding, golfing, and tennis are just a few of the outdoor activities available to guests. It's the ideal spot for a retreat, a chance to relax, meet people, and to re-focus your energy.
You can get more information about the resort at their website.
The resort will provide dinner on Sunday,
all meals on Monday, and breakfast on Tuesday, as well as a cocktail
hour each evening. Please reserve your spot early as we expect to
fill up quickly.
