What’s For Dinner?

Depending on your venue, you may be called upon to make and approve a menu for the retreat.  Of course, there are retreat centers that just feed everyone the same thing, cafeteria style.  But if you are going to a hotel setting, you will be called up for menu selection.  Normally, a hotel will give you some menus to choose from that are in your price range.

Considerations:

• Be sure you have some form of protein available for every meal, otherwise your ladies will fizzle out before the next meal.  This is normally not an issue, unless you are looking at a continental breakfast.  But we try not to skimp on breakfast, and make sure eggs are available.
• I hate to say it, but some form of chicken is normally the safest choice to make.
• Be sure your registration form clearly states which meals will be included and paid for with their registration; often, when we are arriving Friday night, we do NOT include Friday dinner in the cost of the retreat.  Make it clear that women must eat that meal on their own.
• Hotels will work with you on special dietary needs, but special diets must specified on your registration form, so that you can inform the hotel well in advance.
