Registration Format and Online Reistration
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!
Nothing spoils a good program quicker than everyone waiting until the last minute to register. If there are not enough registrations by a certain date, the program may be canceled. Coming in on the day the program begins won’t resurrect it, so please register early.
