Celebrating J.R. Martinez:
A Journey of Success

 It is time for the annual FLRBA Adult Retreat
Friday evening February 3 to noon Sunday February 5, 2012
Ramada Inn at the head of Seneca Lake in Geneva, NY.

“Viewers of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” watched a talented, engaging and loveable JR Martinez walk away with the Mirror Ball after a grueling season of competition. But the real story isn’t just JR’s dancing victory; it is that in battling for the coveted trophy, he shattered the myths about those who have been impacted by burn injuries.

In front of 20 million people week after week, JR’s story of pain and triumph have helped all viewers understand that burn survivors are beautiful, that we can recover and that we can and do get back to living our dreams.” Pat Horan, Chair of Phoenix Society Board

Get away for the weekend and connect with fellow burn survivors, family, and program providers. The weekend will take a look at some of JR’s highlights but specifically will focus on how we can take this message and work towards our successes and victories. Saturday evening is reserved for a social activity.

The retreat will be co-facilitated by Paul Schwartzman, FLRBA Executive Director and Psychotherapist, Kelly Reed-Plasse and Matt Klapetzky, who are both burn nurses and have developed and facilitated FLRBA youth and adult programs for several years, and Anne Marie Gefell, Burn Survivor.

Please arrive on Friday evening; we will meet for an informal dinner in the hotel restaurant around 6:45pm. Breakfast will begin at 8:30am Saturday morning with the program starting at 9:00am.
