To all and Fraternities,

Brothers and Sisters,

I would like to encourage all of you to attend the Annual Regional Gathering this year. It is indeed a wonderful experience to attend as a group and also to have an opportunity to meet other Secular Franciscans from other Fraternities. This is open to all professed, candidates, inquirers, orientees, and interested guests.

This year the Theme is “Fraternity”.

The national minister will also be present making a Fraternal Visitation.

Below is the information on cost for accommodations, meal plan. Also if you would like to room with a specific person or persons please let us know. The registration deadline is Friday, June 26^th.

The Annual Regional Gathering this year will be held again at LifeWay Ridgecrest Conference Center, Ridgecrest, NC, about 20 miles east of Ashville on Rt. 40. I will forward the actual address and directions in a later e-mail. Visit their website at www.lifeway.com and click on Conference Centers and then on Ridgecrest, NC.

If you have any questions, please contact your minister.
