Where would I find the list of supplies that has been posted in the past for what things we should bring for the retreat? I have looked back on the 2019 group and couldn't find it. Could someone please help me? Thanks

Here is the link: https://forum.missouriquiltco.com/just-for-fun/-2020-fall-forum-retreat/1840293- On our group page, if you go under topics, you can find all of the posts that were posted before the change over. It has been a challenge learning how to figure out the way the new pages operate. I will be adding supplies for various classes as they become available.
And here is the list Below is a list of Retreat Packing items that might help you figure out what you want to pack. This is a list is compiled from many people bring – please don’t feel like you need to bring everything on the list as this is to just give you some ideas of what you might want to bring.
***Please label your items as many have the same brand of item or things are borrowed and it is easier to return the items to the owner.***
FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THE POST ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN OR YOU THINK OF!!!

Other things to possibly bring:
My camera and battery charger or extra batteries (additional Memory Card for Camera if needed)
My cell phone and charger
My personal chair (if convenient) or a chair cushion
*Missouri Star Retreat Center has chairs and tables (each person will have a 2ft by 4 ft table to themselves) available
