Don’t miss this inspirational time with girlfriends, old & new, at the Hinton Rural Life Center in Hayesville, NC. Hinton is located on the north side of Lake Chatuge just over the state line. We will have the lodge to ourselves – everything is located in one building, no trekking outside to the cafeteria! Look for sign ups in early September.
