5) I'd like to volunteer to help. Who would I contact?

We could not do any of our events without the help of volunteers. Please get in touch with the contact for the event you would like to help with. Thank you.

 

 

  

6) Who do you use for registration and why?

We have used Show My Event for over 50 events. They are wonderful to work with. The registration process is easy to set up. You can customize what information you want to gather. You can have add-ons for things like lodging nights or extra meals. They can take credit card payments if you want them to. Participants can register themselves 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You have easy access to all of the data. The cost is far below other similar sites. I HIGHLY recommend them.

 

 

 

7) What company do you use for sound and stage for your events?

S & S Audio has been providing staging, lighting, sound equipment, projection equipment, etc for diocesan events, large and small, all over Idaho for over 10 years. Robert and his crew are wonderful to work with.

 

 

  

8) Is there any insurance we need to take our youth group out of the country?

Please contact Cari Magette (208) 350-7511 for additional information and insurance.
