DCMS Retreat Manager                                              Back

The DCMS can completely organize your Retreat. This screen shows you the registration page of the Retreat Manger, which allows you to enter all of the info that you would get on a registration form. You can tell the Retreat Manager  the name of the retreat, registration fee, spouse registration fee, late registration fee, and any charges that you might want to include, like t-shirts, or hotel accommodation charge for various occupancy numbers.

When you enter the registration data, the DCMS automatically calculates the charges, taxes and records payment information, so you know who has paid and who still owes. The DCMS will then print a receipt which also recounts all of the information recorded so the registrant can check that the proper arrangements are being made for her/them. As well, the DCMS compiles a room list and other reports you need to let you know what services you need from the hotel. At an instant, for instance, you can see how many Directors, Red Jackets and Consultants are coming, so you can assign break-out rooms accordingly.

We have used this Retreat Manager for the last 5 of Angie's Retreat and I cannot imagine trying to do one with it now. Put simply, this utility allowed one person to organize a retreat of 500 women for a weekend at a hotel in the mountains. That would take a committee of at least four to accomplish without the program.
