Q: What do I need to do to register?
A: To register, complete the registration form and mail with your check. Additionally, you may register at the event. Registering before the conference is encouraged, as it will help us plan for food purchases.

Additional Note: The Church Finance Department has informed us that “The use of PayPal or its functional equivalent in connection with Church-sponsored events is against Church policy.”

Therefore, “The authorized means of collecting money from members for this Conference are:

- Payment in advance by personal check made payable to the host stake. (Woodbridge VA Stake)*

- Payment in cash or check at the door on the day of the event, with the check made payable to the host stake (Woodbridge Stake) and a paper receipt issued for cash payments.”

We are aware that using PayPal is convenient; however, it would generate the following issues:

a. “Implications for the Church's tax exempt status.”

b. “Tax implications for the individual who establishes the PayPal account to be used, and”

c. “Ecclesiastical and administrative controls over the funds collected.”

Please, send your checks to:

Patrick Graff
12972 Pintail Road
Woodbridge, Virginia 22192
