To register, please click on the link below.  A DEPOSIT OF $100 IS DUE IMMEDIATELY.   RESERVE A SPOT FOR YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!!  The check should be made out to “HRC”.  On the memo line put “M-FUGE”, and either drop it at the Church Office (in Mark Mast’s mailbox) or mail to 143 Beekman Road, Hopewell Junction, NY, 12533.  If you have questions, please contact Rick Goerg at goergny@optimum.net.
