Service Project:
Our Service Project this year will be to benefit Dress For Success, an Austin based organization that provides women with the resources, tools, clothing and support they need to not only secure gainful employment, but to continue to grow personally and professionally. We are asking for donations of new or slightly used purses.
Basket Raffle:
Once again we will be having a Basket Raffle. We are asking each Church represented at the Retreat to bring a themed basket to enter into the raffle. Tickets will go on sale Friday evening and continue on Saturday. The drawing will be held Saturday evening.
Retreat T-Shirt:
We will be selling our BBA/CPA DWM Retreat T-Shirts this year for $25. If you would like to order one, please choose your desired size during online registration.
Payment for the T-Shirt will be taken at the Retreat when you pick up your shirt. You may pay with cash or check.
Select your size at registration - pay at the door.
