Payments for the contingent will be collected by the Golden Spread Council office.  Credit/Debit card payments will include a transaction processing fee.  Cash or Check payments may be paid in person or by mail with no processing fee.

REFUND POLICY

Please note that by registering for the event and placing your deposit, you are committing to the FULL ATTENDANCE FEE.  Because the bulk costs (Unit registration and bus) are paid for as a group fee, the cost per person would actually increase if we do not fill every seat.

No refunds will be given unless you have someone take over your spot.
