Work, work, work...

Every year we have four Work Weeks, two in the spring and two in the fall. Volunteers come to our property and labor with us. They do everything from spring or fall cleaning to building projects. Landscaping, painting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, chain saw work, etc. are just some of the things they accomplish for us at Tuckaleechee Retreat Center. How would we make it if it weren't for the volunteers!? They are wonderful. We house them and feed them, and they work. The fellowship is great and we get to meet a lot of new people as well as welcome back some returning friends. The group to the right are all from Tri-County Bible Church. Aren't they beautiful? If you are interested in volunteering, let us know. 800-487-6659 or you can email from our website: http://www.tuckaleecheeretreatcenter.com/.

CBM Directors Conference

Tuckaleechee Retreat Center ("TRC") is owned by Children's Bible Ministries ("CBM"). Periodically, the ministry will have conferences or events. This past week, the Directors Conference was held at TRC. We had approximately 48 people attend, including directors of the CBM areas, a member of their staff, and their families. We prepared meals for them, and they attended sessions about various topics. Their sessions usually revolve around sharing stories about their areas, or possibly learning something new from a speaker or video. It's always a good time when members of the CBM family get together.

Tuckaleechee Retreat Center is in The Peaceful Side of the Smokies, or Townsend, TN. If you've never been here, please come visit. I love to show the Retreat Center, and will be happy to give you a tour. Soon it will be warm enough to use the pool. Don't hesitate to call for a reservation. People are calling to book their events.

We've had a lot of snow days this winter. Although we don't get many inches each time, if the snow lays on the driveways, Jim, our maintenance man has a lot of work to do getting product on the snow to melt it. We have been blessed with a golf cart that has nobby tires. It goes ANYWHERE, so that's the mode of travel when we have snow. Hopefully, we are past the worst of it, but it is still chilly here. The temperature today will be a high of 50 degrees. Not exactly warm, but better than 20's.

Tuckaleechee Retreat Center

Normally, we do not offer discounts or specials at Tuckaleechee Retreat Center during June and July. However, this year, due to the economic struggles many are experiencing, we are offering a 10% discount on our large group lodges for new bookings in Elk Lodge, Bear Lodge and Deer Lodge.

If your family is debating on whether to have your reunion or not, please consider Tuckaleechee Retreat Center. We get numerous compliments from guests that our facility is better than they anticipated. Check out our pictures online and feel free to call with questions or bookings.
