	Session Description	Leader Couple
We Will Remember - Welcome to Marriage Enrichment		Eddie& Sylvia Robertson
	Roadside stands offer sourwood honey, muscadine jelly and quilts of all sizes. Souvenirs help us remember meaningful experiences. Couples new to marriage enrichment will explore ACME's keystone concepts and gather souvenirs of communication, conflict resolution, affirmation, and play. This session is an all-day workshop. We highly recommend WE WILL REMEMBER... for couples new to ACME and marriage enrichment. (for some of you, WE WILL REMEMBER... is formerly known as a Mini-Retreat) Please note: WE WILL REMEMBER... will have a morning session (10-12noon) and an afternoon session (4:30-6:30 PM). You will not be choosing from the workshops below.
Couples not attending WE WILL REMEMBER... will choose one morning session and one afternoon session from below.

That could be retirement, empty nest, job loss, job change, etc. and these can affect both partners in a marriage.	Leon & Marcia McGinnis
