*If you would like to join us for lunch, we ask that you pay $10 to help us cover the cost of feeding a few hundred people. However, if you'd rather bring your own, that's ok too - just go through the registration process like normal. When it asks you to pay for lunch at PayPal, go ahead and close that window.
