Registration Fee Information

We are happy to announce a number of changes to the registration fees this year. We know that previously, the registration fee has been increasing each year. TAF has been working hard to make the conference more affordable and accessible so that our community can grow! Thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to make the following changes for full-week participants:

• The general registration fee has been lowered this year to: $460 for JH and older / $310 for Juniors (previously 475/325)
• Families sending more than one child will receive a discount of $100 for each extra child (e.g. families sending 2 children get $100 off the total amount, and families sending 3 children get $200 off, etc.). Friends, cousins, and other relatives do not qualify for this immediate family discount.
• Need-based subsidy is available again this year for those who need and request it. The amount of aid will be decided upon by the TAF Financial Aid Committee, and will be given in the form of reimbursement. To apply, please complete the AF 2008 Financial Aid Form and mail it to our TAF President: TZ Chen at tzchen1@aol.com.

Please Note: The registration deadline is July 11, 2008. After July 11, there will be a late charge of $25/person

F.A.Q.

Q: How can I apply for the multiple-child discount?
A: You don't need to apply for this discount. When you register your household, the discount will automatically be applied to your total if you are registering more than one child.

Q: Why is the need-based subsidy given as a reimbursement?
A: This allows TAF to follow a standardized process for registration.

Q: Can I register by mail instead?
A: Right now we are only opening online registration. If you cannot register online, please e-mail tafhelp@gmail.com so that we may find a way for you to register.

Q: What are the deadlines & Cancellation Policy?
A: The normal registration deadline is July 3, 2008.
To avoid incurring a late registration fee, please submit completed forms and full payment on or before July 3, 2008.
Cancellations received before July 7, 2008 will be accepted without penalty. Cancellations received after July 7 but before the start of the conference will result in a $25 penalty per individual. Cancellations received after the start of the conference (July 27, 2008) will result in a 50% assessment fee.

Q: I still have questions!
A: If you still have questions, please e-mail: tafhelp@gmail.com

Q: Can my kids take the bus back to Chicago or Detroit?
A: Sorry, we do not provide bus transportation back to Chicago or Detroit. We encourage parents to come to the weekend Parents Program!
