We are now using a new membership registration system. The first thing it asks for is to create a login to the software. This is necessary so that the system will recognize you when you register for events and it will make next year’s registration process quicker as well!
Please complete this before your first event! (If you registered using the google form system for your first event this year, we thank you for completing the new form as well).
