Flowery Branch City Council has postponed its annual retreat to March 26.

Government officials had planned to meet March 11-12, but a conflict came up with Councilwoman Tara Richards’ call to military duty that weekend. She is a captain in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.

The retreat, set to begin at 8 a.m., will take place at City Hall, 5517 Main St. and is open to the public.

For more information, call City Hall at 770-967-6371.
