If you have reached out and I don’t find your registration, I’ll be in contact with you early next week, and if we do have your form and don’t see a payment associated with it, again, I’ll be in touch to resolve that as well. If you have or will be mailing checks, our treasurer is picking those up at the PO box and sending those registrations on a separate sheet to me.
