Registration:

Seminar registration will change slightly this year. Study centers and tours will be assigned by lottery drawing. All registrations received by July 7, 2008 will have an equal opportunity for their chosen study centers and tours when the lottery drawing begins that day. The lottery drawing is only for study centers and tours. Everyone will be registered for the rest of seminar. Thank you to the many members who have suggested this option!

Registration forms for Full and Partial registration are now available to download for you to fax or mail in. (Unfortunately, we cannot accept e-mailed registration forms.)
