If you need to change your arrival time for setup, please contact Chelsea at least 24-hours prior to the date of your scheduled event.

Because someone from the Motherhouse will admit you into Founders Hall at the arrival time you indicated on the Registration Form, please notify us immediately if you will be late:

  • During business hours (Monday - Friday; 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) call the Motherhouse main number, 920-907-2300.

Calendar 

Please understand that we host only one event per day in Founders Hall. We can make an exception to this rule when there are two smaller events scheduled that have a setup requiring use of only half the room. When an event setup is only half the room, it will be indicated on the calendar. 

Occasionally, late afternoon/evening meetings will mean that early morning meetings cannot be accommodated the next day, because there is not adequate time to adjust the room setup. If your meeting requires a start time prior to 8 a.m., please call or email to confirm availability.
