Participation Forms
Open each of the PDFs below (Adobe PDF reader or equivalent software required); then print and sign each form. Each file will open in its own window or browser tab when clicked, so simply close the document after printing to return to this page. If you prefer, right-click a link and choose the Save Link As option (or something similar) to get a copy of the PDF on your computer's hard disk.
We also need to have your photograph, on an 8 ½ x 11" sheet, on file in case of an emergency. This should be a picture with a clear and easily recognizable view of your head and face. A regular photo you have taken is fine and it can be of any size. It is preferable if the photograph is a picture of you alone, but one other person in the photo is okay as long as you make clear which person is you.
Send the completed forms and your photo to:
