OCEAN CITY
 8am arrival at the Ocean City Convention Center (4001 Coastal Highway)

 Parking is free and open to the public in the Convention Center lots

 Check-in with Angela Bernstein (a general liability waiver will be signed on- site, please contact me ahead of time if a waiver needs to be sent prior to the exercise for parent/guardian signature)

 Volunteers will receive a general briefing/overview of the morning’s activities which are scheduled to be as follows:

o Each volunteer will be given an “identity” with accompanying documentation
o Upon receiving the paperwork each volunteer will go through an intake/registration process with DHR and be divided into groups of 50
o Each group of 50 will board a bus and travel to Perdue Stadium in Salisbury
o Once the group has arrived in Salisbury they will be required to exit the bus and provide identifying paperwork to the DHR staff on site
o At this location the volunteers will be tracked and transferred to another bus which is theoretically heading to Towson but in actuality will be returning to Ocean City

 Once in Ocean City the activities will be complete (approximately 12-12:30)

 Food and drinks will be provided upon the conclusion of the exercise
