This hasn't been bumped in awile. Anything happening out of this thread?
Glad you bumped, as I hadn't seen before, or at least in a long time.
Has there ever been a DDF Shabbaton, and do people think summer or winter is a better time?

I've hosted many DDFers for shabbos and as many as 10 at a meal at my place.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No there wasn't ever one, but people tried to arrange one just never worked out. So you can try and give it a shot again.

When you sneak in tables and chairs from home, everything works out.
