TEC Retreat Numbers

How To Find Your TEC Number!
In case you haven't been around the TEC Community in awhile, you might be confused by the numbering system for retreats. If you are new to Belleville TEC, that last sentence did not make any sense! You see, many years ago, when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, TECs were numbered according to how many retreats were held at that particular parish. So, while the first TEC was being held in Herrin (called Herrin #1) on Feb. 21-23, 1976, Sparta was having Sparta #18 the very next weekend. Today, we number all the TEC retreats sequentially to alleviate any confusion as to whether the next retreat is #9,782,346 for that particular parsih/TEC Center or if it should be #9,782,347.

Here is an index of "Old" TEC names/numbers and what their "New" number should be. If you don't like my use of "Old" and "New" because of any reference to your particular age, please feel free to replace those terms with euphemisms such as "Traditional" and "Modern", or "Nostalgic" and "Current". Other suggestions are always welcome.
