........."Serenity isn't a matter of chance; its a matter of choice"..........'Hope for Today'   February 4th..........

Location: 

The Green Lake Conference Center is located on the northern shore of Green Lake, Wisconsin, and a little west of the town of Green Lake on Route 23.

Lodging:

Call (920) 294-3323 For Lodging and Meal Reservations   

Ask for “ACAFG” to receive special rates (see below). After March 15, 2012, availability of lodging is not guaranteed. There are no taxes on lodging.

OPTIONS:
   Hotel :   $96.00 per night per room (rooms have 3-4 beds each). 
Single/double occupancy.
  $15/each additional person per night.

   Entire homes of varying sizes are available on the campus for groups. Please ask the reservations desk for details.  

   Camping:   $25-$40  Tent sites to full hook-up sites. These must be arranged with the Green Lake Conference Center at least 30 days in advance. Otherwise the campground will not open until later in the year.

Attire:

The entire weekend is intended to be a casual, comfortable event. Since this is a great place to hike outdoors, you may wish to bring suitable footwear. If you wish to hang out for the evening campfires, a jacket may be helpful. Although there is no indoor pool there is a large swimming facility available, called "Green Lake" although you may find the water a bit brisk (as in "freezing cold") at this time of year.

Smoking:

All of the buildings are smoke-free. If you need to smoke, please remain 25' from the entrances to buildings so that others may enter and leave freely.

Raffle:

Raffle tickets will be available cheap from our high-pressure volunteers. They have been specially trained to tempt you with a lot of guilt manipulation. Before the speaker on Sunday morning we will be giving away a bunch of hard cover Al-Anon books and some workshop packages for next year’s event. Tickets are 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar. I told you they were cheap.

Social Events:  
All social events are open to everyone attending the workshop. There will be campfire fellowship times on both Friday night and Saturday night, and a dance on Saturday night as well. There are also a variety of recreational facilities that can be done individually, such as hiking, golf, crafts, or taking a nap. 

GROUP MEALS:

Hotel guests are required by the facility to purchase 4 meals. These include breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. For those arriving on Friday afternoon, an additional optional dinner will be available between 5pm and 6pm. The meals are plentiful and of high quality. Those requiring special dietary menus should specify so when making lodging reservations.

Coffee is included with all meals and individual cups of coffee and tea are FREE in the lounge area on each hotel floor.  However, we cannot guarantee that they are prepared for such a large number of coffee guzzlers at one time. Please do not abuse this opportunity, and please leave enough for others.

Other Food Service:

The nearest food services outside of the campus are about a 10 minute drive. There are vending machines in the hotel areas and outside of the Kraft Centre dining room.
