Event Information
Due to the current health issues and the high risk status of many of our members we have chosen to cancel Mermaid’s Retreat this year. We are saddened by the decision but it did not come lightly. The safety of our community and our populace is paramount
With an additional year to plan, we are anticipating an amazing event! Please join us!!
