Pismo Retreat Nov 4-7, 2010

Pismo Retreat November 4-7, 2010

Our Retreats began in October, 1996 with a visit to Rick Krieger in Bend, Oregon. Of the 30 brothers in attendance, I'll bet none of us envisioned that we were creating an institution that would ensure the ongoing viability of the Pi Kappa Tau Fraternity until the last of us is gone. The Retreats are held the first weekends in May and November at 18 month intervals. The next one will be November 4-7, 2010 at the Mission Inn of Pismo Beach. The regular schedule helps avoid calendar conflicts, provided our aging members remember to mark their calendars.

Since the Retreat of November, 1998, one of the highlights of the weekend has been the passing on of the Krieger Award, the closest thing Pi Kappa Tau has to the Nobel Prize. This honor has been bestowed upon Stu Olster, John Cagle, Gerry Adams, Rick Turton, Dick Eisman, and Curt Ebbesmeyer, Bob Kari, and Bob Richardson. At the 2009 retreat, Bob Richardson presented this honor to Ralph Costanzo.

Our November 2010 retreat is coming up quickly. Here are some details provided by our resident logistics wizard, Rick Turton:

We will be staying at the Mission Inn where we did our May '09 Retreat. For location/details, see:
