NOTES:
*The “reimbursement payment” covers common group expenses that are required to facilitate this event. * -This includes such items as meals, group activities, event room rentals, etc. that are easier to settle in one large payment rather paying individually.
- You will only be charged for the events or activities for which you were a participant.
- At the conclusion of the trip, the trip coordinator (Margaret Gordon) will send an email to everyone advising their amount due.
- Available payment options will be Zelle or Venmo. Margaret will provide account details in the e-mail advising the amount due.
- We anticipate the amount to be approximately $400-$450 per person for these items. (Subject to change – actual costs will be divided accordingly.)
