Dear Friends,

We are delighted to invite you to the 2010 Al-Anon Adult Children Workshop and Festival, and hope that you will join us for another weekend of healing, peace, and growth. It is intended to serve Adult Children and the people who love them, and as always, is open to all members of Al-Anon and other 12-step groups.

This year the dates are April 30th - May 2nd, 2010. As usual, the entire weekend is designed to be very casual, affordable, and relaxing. For more detailed information, call the hotline 1-800-843-5492 (access code 46).

The location will be the Green Lake Conference Center, on the shore of Green Lake, Wisconsin. The workshop planning committee was unanimously impressed by the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere at the Green Lake facility, the high quality of both the food and the very affordable lodging, the centralization of meeting spaces and lodging, and an environment that will contribute so much to our time together. Many people choose to come earlier on Friday in order to unwind and emotionally detach from the worries at home.

There are a variety of competitively priced sleeping accommodations, including hotel-style rooms sleeping 1- 5 , and a limited number of houses available for groups. Camping is available on the grounds, approximately 1/2 mile from the meeting rooms. Please note that the prices are per room per night for single or double occupancy. This makes them very affordable, especially when additional people can share the room for a small fee. The hotel-style rooms require the purchase of a reasonably priced ‘meal plan’ for the weekend, in addition to the room cost. This includes all meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. Friday evening’s meal is not included with the basic meal package, but can be added for those planning to arrive before 5:00 pm. Those wishing to purchase a meal for Friday evening (5pm-6pm)should confirm with the GLCC reservation clerk that this meal will be recorded as part of your reservation and included with your lodging and meal package.   

The food is of high quality and plentiful. Special dietary needs can be accommodated if requested in advance. ALL LODGING AND MEALS ARE RESERVED DIRECTLY THROUGH THE GREEN LAKE CONFERENCE CENTER,  (920) 294-3323, AND NOT THROUGH ACAFG. You must ask for the "ACAFG Workshop" to get the reduced lodging rates. Reservations made after March 15, 2010 cannot be assured of lodging. Walk-in registrations should not expect either meals or lodging. 

Please note that while the Green Lake Conference Center is a faith-based organization, the Al-Anon Adult Children Workshop and Festival is in no way connected with, nor do we as a group endorse or promote the beliefs of the facility. Please also note that the facility will not attempt to promote its beliefs upon anyone attending the ACAFG workshop, nor will our spaces have a religious atmosphere or décor.

Your Servants, the Planning Committee
