REGISTRATION

  1. You now have 2 ways to register. Either

a.) complete this online form,

 

b.) download this form and mail completed to: Decatur Presbyterian Church (DPC), 2306 Modaus Road, SW, Decatur, AL  35603.

 

  1. If under 18 and traveling alone, also fill out this consent form and mail to DPC.
  2. There are now two ways to pay for the trip: 

a.) One way is to send a $825 check payable to “Decatur Presbyterian Church”, and in memo line indicate “your name” and “DR trip”.

 

b.) The other option is to pay by credit card through the green “Give” button on the DPC website.  When it asks which “fund”, scroll to the last option and choose “DR Trip” and pay the one-time amount of $825. (Note: this price does not include airfare). 

 

Mail to DPC  by April 4 deadline. (If you cannot get the money to the church by that date, let’s talk.  I’m very happy to work with you.)  You may be interested in reviewing the sample fundraising letter. People have been incredibly successful raising funds in this way.

 

  1. Get your passport ASAP.  If you already have one, please make sure it has not expired, nor will it expire during your trip – very important!

 

  1. You must book your own air travel (unless traveling with EZRA internship).  I will be happy to assist you through the purchase, however, it is your responsibility to purchase your own Delta plane ticket.  Ensure your spot on the trip with me before purchasing.  Purchase ticket from Delta.com or other travel site but must be the Delta flight specified above.   Please email me your flight itinerary once purchased. 

 

  1. Read the packing list so you’ll know what to pack.  Especially note the shots suggested, the dress code, and the need for water bottles and bug spray.

 

  1. Many insurance policies cover overseas medical needs, including med-flight.  Check to see if yours does.  If not, individual short-term insurance must be purchased for the week for a very modest price. 

 

 

If you have ANY questions, email me ( carolg@pclnet.net ).  I am very willing to work with you in whatever capacity I can.  God bless you and welcome to the Dominican Republic trip!
