From the Lodge Registrar, Dana Reid:

"Reminder that registration [for Summer Service Weekend] closes Saturday [9/5/2020].

There are NO automatic transfers of registrations from previous events. You MUST submit a form showing your intent to come the weekend, or you will not be allowed to attend.
​
This is due to the current limit on attendees. Therefore, we don't want you holding a space that would prevent someone else from attending. We are closely monitoring the numbers to ensure that we are in compliance with Virginia mandates."

Do not forget an up-to-date copy of your health form (parts A and B from the new form).
