If you participated in last year’s count and wish to repeat the same assignment this year, that’s great! Or if you want to try something different this year, that’s also great. Or if you’re new to the count, no problem! 🙂 Whatever your preference is, just indicate it when you fill out the form and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
We will be in touch closer to count day to confirm your assignment and share detailed instructions. Thanks!
