On Sept. 9-11, RPCVSF is hosting our annual members' retreat - a relaxing weekend in Key Largo for RPCVs. Last year more than 50 RPCVs and their families and friends enjoyed a great weekend together - we hope you'll be with us this year.
We'll be staying at a waterfront resort with a small beach, and kayaking, sailing, snorkeling and SCUBA diving are available. Reservations for Friday night can be made directly with the resort
: (305) 451-3595 or http://www.amoray.com/ and be sure to tell them you are with the Peace Corps Volunteers group. (You'll get 10% off the room rate.)
There are no rooms left for Sat. night so please check nearby hotels. Kids are very welcome - last year we had more than a dozen kids of all ages.
