IMPORTANT NOTES:

• LoMAZ events are run by volunteers. We have an attendee limit to help the host manage the event. We prefer a smaller, friendlier group.
• If the event is Sold Out, you will be added to the waitlist. If someone drops out, waitlisted attendees are automtically moved to the 'Going' list in order of priority.
• IF YOU CAN NO LONGER ATTEND, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR RSVP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This lets someone on the waitlist take your place.
• If you don't show up to three events in a row and do not change your RSVP to "Not Going", you will be removed from the group.
• If you change your RSVP to "Not Going" five times in a row, you will be removed from the group.
