Change in Deadline for Gathering in Williamsburg

[George Greenia]

The Fifth Annual Gathering of the Friends of the Camino de Santiago

In a posting of January 3, I wrote that the deadline for registrations for 
the Williamsburg, Virginia 2002 Gathering would be February 20.  Due to the 
need to do as much advanced planning as possible, we would like to ask 
everyone to send in their registrations to Sandy Lenthall by Feb. 15 if 
possible.  We have an upper limit of participants that we can host and 
we'll make every effort to accommodate all those interested, but if the 
response is too great we'll let the Camino community know by an e-mail 
posting to the GOCAMINO list.  The entire hotel is now reserved for 
Gathering participants but we have to release unclaimed rooms several weeks 
in advance, so please make your reservations soon.

For those of you on other Camino listservs/bulletin boards, here's a copy 
of the previous announcement for re-posting.  ¡Buen camino a todos!  george

The Fifth Annual Gathering of the Friends of the Camino de Santiago

will take place in Williamsburg, Virginia on March 8-10, 2002. All who have 
made the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain on foot, bicycle or 
by any other means are welcome, as well as those exploring the idea of 
pilgrimage or looking for practical advice and the fellowship of modern 
pilgrims. The Gathering will offer time to talk informally about individual 
pilgrimages, and to hear presentations by researchers and authors, 
musicians and kinesiologists, recent veterans of the Camino and those who 
can offer reflections on the personal exploration that molds the pilgrim’s 
contemporary experience.

Registration is $100/person (due by Feb. 15th) and includes all activities 
and most meals for the weekend. Send checks made out to “Sandy Lenthall” to
