    The Presentation Center is a peaceful oasis tucked among the redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains just 20 minutes from Silicon Valley.   Presentation Center is rooted in the history and mission of two very different entities: the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the work of Ernest Rogers who founded the Montezuma Mountain School for Boys in the Santa Cruz Mountains outside of Los Gatos, California.  Despite its proximity to 'city life' - with its spectacular setting and views, you will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. 

    Check-in time is from 2:00pm on Friday, and check out is 2:00pm on Sunday after lunch.   The first meal of the retreat is dinner - so you may want to arrange to stop for lunch on your way to the retreat venue - or bring a packed lunch with you.   Check in at the Main Building - meet me! - then get your name tag and goodie bag, and locate your room.

    Lodging will be in the main building.   All bed and bath linens are supplied.   Bathrooms are down the hall.   A minimum of two scrappers is required for each room,  unless you have paid for a single occupancy.   You choose your roommates!!    Please park in the marked areas.

    Remember that this is a fun weekend slumber party atmosphere.  You are on vacation with your girlfriends, chocolate, and very little sleep so it can be loud!    As some people are night owls and some are early birds, please try and be respectful of others sleeping habits and remember we are all there to laugh and have fun.   I am usually pretty good at names but wear your name tag everyday so you get to know others, and they get to know you
