The required deposit to hold my place on the tour is $500.00, due by May 1, 2015 , followed by remaining balance of $499.00 by May 30, 2015 ($899.00 for adults). The tour package (extensive, described on page 2 of this form) includes the cost of the International Convention registration ($200.00 cost) and I understand I do not need to complete a separate International Convention registration form. I also understand that if I cannot attend after sending in my registration and fees, I must notify Mr. J. Scott Johnson via delivery confirmable mail by May 1, 2015. Otherwise, any cancellations after May 1 will result in the loss of any money I have paid for the tour and convention reservation. The Key Club International cancellation deadline DOES NOT apply because I am registering as part of a District Tour. If I find a replacement to fill my spot, the replacement must be of the same gender and registrant classification (i.e. students replace students or adults replace adults), and submitted prior to May 30, 2015. Because certain permission slips must be completed in advance, substitutes must be approved by Mr. Johnson. By requesting a student registration rate, I understand that 3 roommates will be assigned to me, and that I will be sharing a bed with another student of the same gender unless I bring alternative bedding (sleeping bag, pillow, blanket, etc.) to sleep on the floor of my assigned room. I may indicate my roommate preferences below, but understand no guarantees are made as to who my roommates will be. Lastly, I understand that I will be required to follow the Carolinas District and Key Club International Code of Conduct at all times, and that failure to do so could result in removal from the convention and tour, and I (or my parents/guardians) will be responsible for costs associated with an early departure and return home. No refunds of any nature will be given for participants having to be removed from the convention and tour. Copies of the Code of Conduct and other required forms will be sent to me after my registration fee and tour reservation request form has been received by the Carolinas District. *During the convention tour and convention free time students will be allowed to travel on their own in groups to explore downtown Chicago and downtown Indianapolis.
