As most of you know, Mountain Laurel is run by a volunteer Board of Directors who provide their services and efforts for the benefit of us all. For obvious reasons, these volunteers cannot be held personally liable for damages to property or injuries to participants during the Gathering. For this reason, we require all participants to indicate their understanding and agreement with this principle by reading the following Assumption of Risk Agreement and Release. You cannot register online unless you click the "I accept this release" button at the bottom of the page.
