HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM DIE!

Nothing kills a recreation program faster than those who wait until the last minute to register.  Programs must be cancelled if there are insufficient registrations.  All programs require scheduling, staffing, equipment and sometimes transportation.  If we do not have enough registrations we have to cancel the program in enough time to let the places we were going to we are not coming. 

WHY IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO SIGN UP EARLY?

It is a good idea to sign up early to ensure your spot, help the program not get cancelled, and sometimes a discount is given to those who sign up and pay early.
