2008 Bonner Program
Fall Directors & Coordinators' Meeting
Logistics & Housing
We are planning the Directors
& Coordinators meeting to be held at Montreat
Conference Center in Montreat, North Carolina.
Montreat Conference Center,
nestled deep in a cool, green cove of the Blue Ridge Mountains
just east of Asheville, NC, truly is “a place set apart.”
On average, over 35,000 people a year, young and old, from
every walk of life, come here to experience spiritual renewal,
relaxation, and recreation.
Directions
For Internet mapping enthusiasts,
Montreat Conference Center’s physical address is 401
Assembly Drive, Montreat, NC 28757.
