There is no charge for the special classes, informative lectures or exciting ritual work we offer during Power Week. Although such an intensive workshop would normally cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars elsewhere, we are dedicated to making Power Week affordable to as many Members as we can.

Many of our Members donate not only their time but also their financial support to make Power Week work each year. As we have done in the past, we are asking for a small donation to offset the cost of refreshments, handouts, furniture rental, and the many special extras provided throughout the week. We are asking $60 per member for the entire week, and this is the only cost aside from personal traveling expenses and hotel cost. This cost is offered only through 2008; after the beginning of 2009 it will rise to $90.

Each member is responsible for his or her own transportation to Power Week. Several free carpools will be available on the main transportation days, but other transportation must be arranged by the member in advance. Members are also responsible for their own accommodations.

If you plan to advance during Power Week, we ask that you send your grade advancement fee of $65 to the Cancellarius no later than July 31st. This is very important in order to allow time to complete the preparation of grade materials prior to Power Week. Please make out a separate check or money order for your grade advancement fee and clearly specify what it is for, as this money goes to a separate account. You should plan to have your testing completed by July 15th in order to give your proctor time to notify the Cancellarius if you are recommended for advancement and give you time to mail in your check.

If you face particular financial need, please specify such when you apply. No one is denied the opportunity or the pleasure of Power Week due to inability to afford the donation fee.
