First, go to the registration page for your preferred time slot. Then you must either register for an online account or sign in to the one you’ve already created. The account registration/sign-in box is in the upper right-hand corner on the event registration page.

If you are registering for the first time, be sure to use the same contact information you used to sign up for your membership. This is important so your online account can automatically link to your membership.

After you’re signed in, add the event to your shopping cart and check out. There is no charge for this event.
