There are no costs to attend this conference or any of the meals associated with the conference, but please note that travel to and from the conference and accommodations for the conference are not covered by MORL or Kidneeds.
To safeguard the health of the members of our community who are immunocompromised, we ask that masks, we ask that masks be worn during the conference unless eating or drinking. There will be no eating or drinking in the conference auditorium.
*The Welcome Dinner on Friday, October 14th and the Saturday evening dinner at Dr. Smith's home are pending the COVID-19 situation in October 2022. Since both of these events involve close spaces and removing face masks to eat, we will make the final decision on these special dinners closer to the conference.
Register now to join us Oct. 14-15, 2022 for this outstanding family conference.
