Can I still attend your events if I'm not registered to stay with you for the weekend?
YES! The registration fee is for people who would like to stay with us for the week at the Washington Court Hotel, attend all of our events, while getting cool stuff like a free pullover hoodie, food, music, etc., etc. If you don't register with us you will not get those free goodies, but you are definitely welcome to attend any or all of our events. Send us an email with your intentions so we can keep track of how many people are attending specific events.
Will I still be able to march with you even though I am unable to attend the activism weekend before the March for Life? If so, where and when do I meet you?
Of course you can! The more the merrier. Keep checking back at the Training and Activism Week 2009 page where we will be posting when and where we are meeting.

You do not have to be affiliated or associated with a Rock for Life chapter to be a part of our Training and Activism Week. All pro-lifers are welcome to attend any or all of our events. Of course if you are interested in starting a Rock for Life chapter or being a member of our street team contact us here.
Do we need to register as a group of four or can we attend alone or with a group of two or three?
You may register alone, or with a group of two or more. To keep the costs down we are putting four to a roommates separate from females, of course. In order to accommodate you the best that we can, tell us what group you are registering with as well as your preferred roommates. That way we can keep you guys together.
Is their an age limit?
Attendees 17 and under must have their parents permission. There is a spot on the registration form for your parent or legal guardian to sign.
Do kids get in free?
Well, yes and no. To keep the costs down we are packing four to a room. If you want to bring your child and still share the room with three others, then your child is free. If you want to bring your child and have him/her count as one in the 'four to a room' policy, then we need to collect the registration fee for your child. Think of it as an airline ticket. On most airlines kids 2 and younger are free, as long as they share a seat with an adult. But if you want your child to have their own seat, you have to pay for an airline ticket for the child.
Are meals included?
No meals are not included. Union Station, which is only a few blocks away has a wide variety of food options.
