Registration Closes on August 29! | We are continuing our pitch-in tradition at this year's Gathering. We are renting the campus, but there is no staff so we will be providing all services for ourselves. This means we're responsible for programming all activities, food service, meal prep and cleanup, taking out trash as needed, etc. It also means we are able to keep our operating costs much lower and can pass on the savings to our members by keeping fees as low as possible. In return, we ask everyone to pitch in with one or more tasks that best suit her interests and capabilities. When you register, we'll ask how you can help make this a successful Gathering. Activities
