<P align=center>Mark your calendars! <B><FONT color=#ff0000>The Southwest TeaM
Retreat and Family Reunion</B></FONT> will take place February 23-25, 2006, at
the Canossian Spirituality Center, in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New
Mexico. As Pastor Daniel stated in his 10<SUP>th</SUP> year anniversary service
of the Church Within:</P>

<P align=center>"Renewal allows one to … Reactivate, Readjust, Realign,

Regenerate, Reinforce, Reinterpret, Rejuvenate, Rekindle, Relearn, Remake,
Remotivate, Reorganize, Restore, Revitalize, and Revive their Attitude, Beliefs,
Dedication, Determination, Hope, Faith, Relationship, Friendship, Love.
Everything in fact, that has Real Lasting Value in Life."</P></B></FONT>
<P align=center></P></DIR></DIR>
<P align=center>We also welcome you to join your Family at this Retreat and
share your <B><FONT color=#000080>Re-Re-Re-Respect</B></FONT> for the God Within
each of us that allows these wonders to perform. As all of us benefit from the
divine embrace of our siblings, <B><FONT color=#ff0000>we roll out the red
carpet and offer the olive branch</B></FONT> to those we have overlooked or
offended in the course of this past year and open wide our arms and hearts to
embrace those friends we have not yet met. <B><FONT
color=#ff0000>Welcome!</B></FONT> one and all.</P>
<P align=center></P>
<P align=center>Naturally we will aspire to meet a day or two early, to plunge
into the spiritual waters (anybody for a trek to Thousand Waves in Santa Fe for
a hot soak and massage?); and stay a day or two later, to get a better airline
rate (and visit Old Town or take the tram to the Top of the Crest?) If you
factor your budget at $75 per day per person (which includes registration, room
and board), you will be able to calculate the basic cost and extent of your
stay.</P>
<P align=center></P>
<P align=center>All the rooms are spacious, gracious and accommodating, with
windows that open to the grounds, but not all of them are quipped with a full
bath, so if you want one of those, register early to nail one down. Canossian
can accommodate 36 people.</P>
<P align=center></P>
<P align=center>Again this year, bear in mind the Hotel Blue in downtown
Albuquerque provides an affordable alternative, and we encourage it for those
who want to squeeze in a little night life or those who decide to attend after
all the rooms at the Center are filled.</P>
<P align=center></P>
<P align=center>The Canossian Spirituality Center is an ideal place to retreat,
in the slow and tranquil ambiance of the South Valley, where "mañana is good
enough for me!" Well off the beaten path, it is not far from the ABQ
International Airport and off I-25. Maps for attendees will be forthcoming.</P>
<P align=center></P>
<P align=center>Elevation in the Valley is approximately 5,000 feet above sea
level. There are no stairs to factor; a wheelchair is available, if and as
desired. Special dietary needs can be accommodated. Shuttle from the airport to
the Center will be made available. Details will follow as they are formulated
and confirmed. Meanwhile, if you have questions, requests or special needs,
email contact <A
