COSROW Women‘s Retreat 2024Amplifying Women’s Voices: Empowering Our Action in Election YearsOctober 4-6, 2024 @ The ARC Retreat Center_____
You’ve heard it before – voting is not only our right as citizens, but it’s also our civic duty if we want any kind of voice in what goes on in our country. So make your voice heard! Our presenter will be Michelle Witte, Executive Director, League of Women Voters of Minnesota. She will address the history of the League of Women Voters (LWV) and provide perspective on how women working together to win the vote in 1920 went on to inspire a century of civic engagement that lives on today as LWV continues to empower voters and defend democracy. Learn how YOU can also make a difference by activating your voice in the voting booth and within your local community to have an impact on decisions facing our future. Michelle Witte A graduate of the University of Minnesota, Michelle has a Public Affairs Fellowship from the Coro Foundation. She has followed the proud League tradition of women in government by serving as an elected school board member for South Washington County Schools. When not working on behalf of our democracy, Michelle enjoys being active in her Woodbury community with her husband Eric and rescue dog Kiwi, and spending time with her two adult daughters. Retreat Details Please join us for this special retreat! Registration and payment for the retreat is again a 2-step process.

A deposit of at least $200 is due with registration, but you may choose to pay the entire amount at this time. The remainder will be due to Peace by September 15. We have room for 14 women; please register early. Besides listening to our speaker, we will spend time getting (better) acquainted, enjoying free time, eating healthy meals, stretching ourselves awake together in the morning, learning a craft, worshipping together on Sunday morning, and potentially watching a movie, making s’mores over a bonfire, and/ or relaxing with a massage. As always, this is YOUR retreat, so if you feel more of a desire to journal in a quiet corner or walk the labyrinth rather than join in a scheduled activity, that’s PERFECTLY FINE!

Alone we can do so little. But together we can do so much. _____
