Welcome to our March Newsletter!
Spring is in the air at the Academy Retreat Center. We have been busy scheduling classes and sew-in days for the year. We have also completed installing the Rest Room in the Retreat Center for your convenience.
If you have ideas on classes that you would like to see us offer, let us know. You can always contact us on our website, online store, Facebook page, or by phone 888-787-3980 with any questions or comments you may have.
Remember, you can schedule your own open sew day and do not have to wait for our scheduled monthly Sew What! Friday. Call Carolyn to reserve a day for yourself and your friends!
