Wednesday, April 23, 1997 Opinion: Women’s Weekend great fun KARIN REDSTON Feature Editor Last spring I had the opportunity to attend the annually held Focus On Women's Get-Away Week end. I was encouraged to go and went as Assistant Opinion Editor to cover it. I never got around to writ ing that opinion until now. With the 1997 Focus On Women's Get-Away-Weekend approaching starting April 25, I must comment on my experiences of last year. Expecting institutional food, I was surprised and greatly pleased to see the meals were well thought out and really good. The staff at Camp Collins outdid themselves in hospitality to the participants that were there. The concert by the band Motherlode was incredible. It evoked a lot of feelings from the audience, all the way from laughter to tears. The band took the time throughout the weekend to put on workshops including singing, learning different musical instruments and even play ing the harmonica. Massages were offered at seven dob lars for a half hour. Massage work shops were offeredlfes was a body movement workshop' An art workshops was led by Susanna Lundgren, who made vari ous art modes available to weekend participants. I finally came out from behind my camera long enough to try the art. Writing workshops were of fered and were filled to capacity. On Saturday night there was a per formance of everything we learned, and a dance followed. After that some of us got together and attempted to sing campfire songs ... the ones we could remember, that is. That weekend last year was one I will always remember. I encourage any woman who wants to experience the outdoors, go hiking, bird watching, writing in a beautiful setting and learn a bit of massage as well as have fun with art, to sign up for this weekend. It is a chance to relax, let someone do the cooking for you and if you're mar ried, have your partner deal with the kids and pets for the weekend. Coordinators of the 1996 Women's Getaway Weekend relax after a successful event. From left are Kate Gray, Linda Vogt, Rene' Zingaretli, Marilynne Keyser, Bernie Nolan and Maggie Pedersen. This year's coordinator group also includes Ellen Wolfson and Linda Durham (not pictured).
