2010 Grand Isle Lake House Preservation Retreats
2008 Preservation Retreat at the Grand Isle Lake House  | The Preservation Trust of Vermont is hosting 2-day retreats at the Grand Isle Lake House. Retreats are for groups undertaking historic preservation and community development projects.
The retreats offer an opportunity to exchange strategies and share project management and fund raising information. Come away with renewed enthusiasm and new ideas. The retreats works best if several people from your group can attend.
Please be prepared to present a ten-minute case study about your project. The case study should frame a question or problem that you'd like the group to discuss. Often, these are sticking points that need to be solved in order to move forward with the project.
