November 1-2, 2014
Once again, the Great Books Poetry Weekend will be held at Vallombrosa Center in Menlo Park --- a beautiful, peaceful, enclosed ten acre site shaded by trees from all over the world. Every room has a private bathroom; single occupancy rooms are also available; there are no dormitory-style rooms.
As usual, we will have our Saturday evening pre-dinner wine and cheese party and an after dinner party with interactive entertainment. There will be one discussion room that is accessible without stairs.
The price for the whole package will be the same as it was last year: $175.00 based on a double-occupancy room with two twin-size beds and its own bathroom. Single occupancy rooms are also available for $189.00 --- i.e., your own twin bed and your own private bathroom. Vallombrosa does not give as much of a price break for commuters as we did at Westminster, regrettably, those not staying over-night will have to pay $154.00 per person.
