Chat with Cat: Upcoming Q&A

Part of the challenge (and privilege) of doing what I do at Montreat is that I get to share this wonderful place with people who do not know us at all. Sometimes they have not heard of us; sometimes they have heard the wrong thing.

The best scenario is when people ask me questions that I can answer and further shape their image of Montreat Conference Center. But sometimes they do not ask, or do not know what to ask. So for the next few weeks I am going to give you an opportunity to ask whatever you want to know about Montreat. Who is Susan? Why does everyone think that Youth Conferences are always full? Is the Auditorium air-conditioned?

From serious to silly, historic to current, I will do my best to answer your questions. All I need you to do is ask! You can leave your question in a comment on this post. You can send me an email at catw@montreat.org. Or you can even send me a message or @reply on Twitter to @Cat_Montreat.

To start us off I will answer a couple of questions that we get A LOT:

1. So, Montreat Conference Center is part of Montreat College, right? No. Although the then-named Montreat Anderson College was started and run by the board of the Mountain Retreat Association, the two entities have been entirely separate since 1974. All we share is a name and zip code. We work cooperatively on many things. Wanna know what? Ask.

2. Can you tell me how to get to Billy Graham's house? I could, but even if I did you couldn't get there because of a large privacy gate. And really, they deserve the privacy.

3. (Because I know you're dying to know...) Can you turn on the A/C in the Auditorium? No. Here, have a fan.

OK everyone. I'm depending on your from here on out. Send in your Q's!
