The women’s retreat is a wonderful opportunity to get to know other QUUF women on a more intimate level, to relax, meditate, and/or socialize. It is an excellent way for new friends and members of QUUF to develop a sense of belonging. As chairperson, one has the opportunity to grow her leadership skills, and to have input on the direction of the retreat. It is a great experience working collaboratively with other women and is very fulfilling. The retreat attendees are very appreciative!
