Set-up will take place from 5-5:45 PM. We have 25 slots available.

Interested in Choices #1 and #2? Please sign-up HERE
*Disclaimer: If someone has already signed up for a country/culture you wanted- we encourage you to partner up with families and collaborate. That way we can have one country per table.*
