A Legacy to Remember

MD49 Lions,

ID Ski and myself have taken everything from the committee meetings and the hotel estimate to create an Annual Convention that we believe will be exciting and fun!

Please share the registration form at your next club meeting so we can start getting numbers for attendance. Do not hesitate to call or text ID Ski or myself with any questions. We already know that this is an expensive registration. But with registration and our fundraising efforts we are going to be really close to breaking even. That is our goal! Rental, food, etc costs have increased the last few years and we needed to be as realistic as we could.

We would prefer payment by check, however, there is a square link to pay by credit card (yes we will have a fee). If you pay by credit card, please check that you paid by credit card on the registration form and fill out and mail your form to us so we have your registration information.

If you are a club that likes to bring something for the auction table, we will gladly accept it when you register. Watch for emails as we get closer to the Convention date!
