@Reb Shlomo, the Gatlinburg retreat was organized by Al Thomas of Memphis, [ the hotel owner] and this had nothing to do with the OU, the hotel was sold and the retreat ended in the early 2000s. Having been there I can tell you for a fact that there is no sefer torah there, you either need to bring your own or borrow from Chabad in Knoxville or Chattanoga or one of the shuls in Atlanta.
@Huju “I sense that Gadolha and Common Saychel have doubts about Chabad’s readiness to raise a minyan. And yet Common S tells us Chabad did help him/her raise a minyan.”
Avram in MD is correct and making a daily minyan is not biggest priority for them [given all the other things they deal with], in my case I called a few weeks before and rov minyan was my family, most of the shluchim are very upfront that there is no minyan, if you have a yartzite and are in some far flung place and need to say kaddish they will try the best to find 8 other jews somewhere but don’t count on it.
