Staff may arrive on Saturday and check-in will reopen on Saturday morning.   

All checked-in Candidates and Staff will be given direction on where to go to wait for additional instructions or begin Staff duties.

Hydration is very important to avoid heat-related sickness! Just because you do not feel thirsty, does not mean that you are not dehydrated. All Candidates and Staff must have a water bottle at all times and all service sites will be kept stocked with drinking water. We will take regular water and rest breaks. Sunscreen and hats are also very important.  

If you have any special dietary needs due to medical or religious reasons, please contact the OA Bistro at bistro@miki.org. They will help make sure the Bistro Staff is aware of special needs. It is a good idea to email them even if you listed restrictions on your reservation.

The planned release time is Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Candidates must be present for the entire program. If a Candidate needs to leave early due to religious obligations, they must obtain prior-approval from the inductions team at inductions@miki.org and/or adv.inductions@miki.org prior to arriving for the event. Additionally, those leaving early must check out in person with a member of the Admin team. 

If you have questions, you can reach out to the induction team at inductions@miki.org or the administrative team at admin@miki.org and visit the Lodge website www.miki.org
