Only couples or two registrants who comprise an “agreed-upon pod” may register for a double-occupancy room. You must designate your roommate in the registration process. We will not assign random registrants to shared accommodations.
Scholarship help is available. If you are in a unique situation and do not have the financial resources to afford our fee, please e-mail our registrar at karenhz0210@gmail.com.
If you are in a position to contribute to our scholarship fund, which has helped hundreds of Friends attend our conference through the years, you will have a chance to donate in the registration process.
NEW SELF-SELECTION OF LODGING FEATURE IN REGISTRATION
The registration process allows you to choose the building where you will stay along with the floor.
We ask that if you are able to climb stairs, that you please select a second-floor room.
Please note: when the registration form prompts you to submit dates, please enter the dates 5/27/2022 and 5/28/2022. This has to do with a software glitch out of our control.
If you need wheel chair accessibility, please contact the registrar so she can secure one of the limited number of handicap compliant rooms.
As anyone who has visited the nearly 100-year-old campus of Pendle Hill knows, accommodations are 3-Q: Quaint, Quirky, and Quakerly (i.e. simple). There is always a chance room choices may need to be juggled a bit. If so, Karen Zipser, our registrar will be in touch.
Please contact Karen with any other registration concerns in advance of the conference.
IF YOU ARE WAITLISTED FOR YOUR PREFERRED INTEREST GROUP,
please make a second choice. You will be upgraded to your first choice if someone cancels. If you are content with your second choice, please uncheck your first choice.
