*Dietary restrictions:
If you can, please avoid these foods, or let us know they are present:

Details:
Maria - Food Allergy: shellfish & coconut (includes coconut milk and coconut oil too).

**

Details:

In addition your meal assignment; I request each person invest 1/2 hour, sometime during the weekend, to assist the weekend to flow easily, to operate in a clean, neat space and to leave everything better than we found it. 
Please do this in short segments as you see things that need done, or long investments throughout the time of your stay. We will particularly need a few folks to set-up when we arrive (may need to move some tables/chairs between 2 cabins) and at the end - to help return the place to 'normal' before we leave - thanks!!


I request that food be prepped before and cleaned up after scheduled class time.
There is SO much I want to share with you guys, and I want us to share together!
I request we all re-commit to being present and ready to work at all agreed-upon class times. 
Please communicate if you will be late, or need to leave early - it really helps me ; )



There is Wi-Fi throughout the resort.
Kammy, is there cell coverage?


I would like to swim.  Bring a suit if you would too.
Michael has a wet suit for torso (arms and legs uncovered) - if you are Men's size M or smaller, and want to borrow - let me know.
