Registration Notes

If you have a nach medaille (back-ordered award) coming from a walk, remember to look for a sign at local Volksmarches saying that the awards are in. If you see a sign saying Nach Medailles from _____, ask the person for your award. If you haven't seen the club at a Volksmarch and it's been two months or so since the walk, check with the registration director. Tell them when and where the walk took place, and having a werber (flyer) would be helpful.
