Ladies of the RSV are invited to attend our third Regency Retreat! We'll be spending the extended weekend indulging in period activities, food, and fun in a manor house overlooking the James River.

A $75 deposit (applied towards your registration fee) is required to hold your place and the balance for this event must be paid in full by September 1.
