Mady says: "I encourage you to register online this year (it makes it easier for me!), but please note that you will still need to MAIL your check to me by U.S. Post to confirm your registration and priority in room choice. The deadline for registration without a late fee is May 15. And if you want one of the special, available-by-pre-order-only, T-shirts designed by Michael Kuharski, we must have that order by Wednesday, May 13"
