Agreement

The vision of this retreat needs to be maintained. It is for a Christian leadership, blessed and refreshed by time in God’s presence, strengthened and emboldened to minister to His children and proclaim His Kingdom. Religious, educational, and charitable programs, while at the retreat, must not be in conflict with this vision. All sponsoring organizations need to be tax-exempt.

The lovely and quiet character of our neighborhood needs to be maintained, as well. Therefore, we ask our guests to minimize the number of cars brought here and to bring no vehicle bigger than a 15-passenger van.

It is impossible for La Hacienda Christian Retreat, and The McNess Foundation that owns it, to guarantee each person’s safety and well being while on retreat. Therefore, it is necessary for each group and its members to release, hold harmless and indemnify The McNess Foundation, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, and its directors, employees, and volunteers from all liability for any claims or causes of action which might arise and any attorney’s fees and costs which may be incurred as a result of such claims or causes of action should any personal injury, death, loss, or property damage result.

A non-refundable deposit is due at the time of the reservation. This will amount to one-third of the anticipated cost of the retreat. The balance is due at the time of arrival.
