The 2019 Section Meeting will take place at the Lake Doniphan Conference and Retreat Center outside of Kansas City, MO.

Mini Lodge:
There are two Mini Lodges. These smaller lodges have sleeping rooms with four bunk beds, so each room could house up to eight people, but we expect to only use the lower bunks, with four people per room. Each sleeping room contains a private three-piece bath, a second private shower room, and an additional two sinks with vanity. The mini-lodges also have gathering rooms with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a kitchenette. There is a short, flat, outside walk to the main lodge where the dining room is and where the plenary sessions will be held.
Mini Lodge guests provide their own bedding and towels or can pay a $2.50 fee for bed and bath linens. For more housing images and floor plans, look here.

Cabins:
There are 19 rustic cabins. Each cabin is outfitted with two bunk beds and can sleep up to four. The cabins are unheated but space heaters will be available, as are window air conditioning units. The public restrooms and shower facilities are conveniently located nearby, but are not inside the cabin. The cabins are located very close to the main lodge, where the dining room is and where the plenary sessions will be held.
