Your health and safety are at the forefront of our minds regarding this program. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, we had asked you to share a room with another member of your community but with current CDC guidelines and social distancing, we no longer feel that is in your best interest. We have expanded our room pool to allow for private rooms but do ask that members who reside in the same household share a room to keep space open for as many registrants as possible. Please indicate if you are in need of a private room or if there is a household member you will be sharing with. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate safety protocols for in person and/or hybrid events. Name of person you would share a room with:
Registration is $20 per person.
