***It is extremely important that you are committed to paying for your spot as a delegate to the conference if you sign up.*** By signing up, you are reserving a spot on the delegation for you specifically. Supplies and lunch are ordered based on the number that we provide St. John's, so we are required to pay for the entire delegation regardless if all the delegates show up or not. Backing out at the last minute would not be fair to rest of your fellow delegates, so make sure you are committed to going if you sign up. If there are any issues regarding payment for the conference, be sure to talk to me in private and we can work something out.

 

To sign up, fill out the Google Form by next Wednesday, September 24th with the necessary information here:
