Any reference to WFAA in this document includes UWF and WAA.
I, and any minor (“the Minor”) who accompanies me (all of whom are referred to together as “I” or “my”), wish to voluntarily participate in WFAA’s Alumni College, which will be held August 28-31, 2022, at the Red Crown Lodge in Woodruff, WI (“Alumni College”).
