If those fill up, there are also plenty of other accommodations very close to the Lake in either Waynesville or Maggie Valley.

Program Resources (downstairs in Harrell Center) will also open then, as will the reception & refreshments being provided in the Susan Todd Lounge (upstairs Harrell Center) by the North Wilkesboro District.

As you arrive at the Lake, plan to spend some time browsing the Program Resource room, visit the reception being hosted by the North Wilkesboro District, walk along the beautiful Rose Walk, or around the Lake, and spend some quiet time in the Memorial Chapel. Soak up that special spirit of tranquility that lives at Lake Junaluska, and breathe in that wonderful mountain air. There are so many things that you can do to begin your time at Annual Meeting!
