More than thirty members of the community gathered at Camp Bement in late September for the 36th annual fall retreat. A treasure hunt was combined with a history lesson: the various treasures consisted of short quotations from Kay Pfeiffer's dissertation that portrayed the first 25 years of CIE's history. Older members of the community were then asked to explain the quotations and newer members reflected on how that matched what they were now experiencing. Another innovation was a bonfire that provided a convivial setting for some sharing, singing and relaxation. It was followed by the traditional party that kept some folks dancing until the small hours of the morning.
