Here is a little more info about what happens next.
-
AMR is a 501c3 tax exempt registered non profit.
-
We're looking for Fri-Mon 3-night weekends... dates at your convenience... that we can offer to our online network of moms & other caregivers for $150 for the whole 3 nights plus breakfast. These prices can be adjusted as needed, please inquire! If you're able to host more than once a year, that is much appreciated!
-
These retreats are typically single occupancy in the rooms, unless a room has two separate beds or we agree to host a couples retreat. If it is a couples retreat, the cost is $190 for the weekend.
-
The majority of our retreats book out solid. When they don't, we give you plenty of time to release your rooms to other guests.
-
Once we agree on a date, you'd block all of your rooms off for that time period,
-
I'd set up an event page for you similar to this one: https://www.amothersrest.org/2024brookfarmmarch
-
Your inn logo and link would also be added prominently and permanently to our home page.
-
AMR does all of the marketing , advertising, and registration for the event.
-
You don't have to field any phone calls or email inquiries from the individual guests. We handle all of that for you!
-
I will send a rooming list and funds to you directly from A Mother's Rest via check the week before the event.
-
Our retreats are completely free-style. They are meant to offer recuperative rest. We do not offer any "programs", only quiet, respite time for the ladies to do as much or as little as they want.
-
Once the parents register, we set up a private FB event group just for them to be able to get to know each other ahead of the trip, and then communicate during and after.
-
We don't need anything from you as the innkeeper other than what you already provide. Breakfast, a smile, and some guidance on activities, restaurants, massage options, etc.
-
We will submit local and national press releases about the event, and hope they contact you for an interview!
-
AMR does not make any money from these retreats. At this time, we are completely volunteer staffed, and depend on private donations for our basic operating expenses.
