  • Click here for the list of upcoming activities
  • Each activity is both a heading/link. Click on or enter on any activity that interests you.
  • Next click on or press enter on “to register please click here”.
  • Now you have 2 methods of signing up.
  • First Quick Method:
  • You can keep pressing tab to add yourself to each activity.
  • You’ll  click on or enter on “increase” which adds the number 1 to sign you up for that activity.
  • Continue to press tab to navigate through all of the activities, continuing to click on press enter on the ones you wish to join.
  • If you made a mistake or changed your mind during this session, press shift tab and click on or press enter on “decrease” and the number will revert back to 0 for the activity.
  • Second Method: (arrowing down)
  • You will arrow down and find each activity is listed line by line with the following information;
    • Date time and title of the activity
    • A heading with again date title and time of the activity
    • Whether the activity is virtual or in person
    • A blank line
    • A description of the activity
    • Another blank line
    • A message should you be done signing up that reads- If you are using a screen reader, click “shift b” to jump to the “Register Now” button once you are done signing up for activities.
    • Another blank line
    • Whether the activity is free or any associated costs
    • Another blank line
    • The word decrease along with the name of the activity.  If you have signed up for an activity and wish to remove yourself, here’s where you would do so.

(Hint: When using some screen readers such as Jaws, after you’ve signed up for a given activity the decrease and the number 1 are on the same line.  You’ll need to press control plus right arrow to hear “decrease” and then press enter to actually remove yourself.  You can’t just enter on the whole line, yet rather be sure to hear “decrease” using word by word commands like control right arrow or control plus left arrow if you moved too far and need to land back on decrease and then press enter.)

  • An  unavailable button is on the next line  if you haven’t actually signed up for this activity, as there’s nothing to remove in such instances.
  • The next line has the number 0 and increase with the title of the activity.  This works much like the decrease in that you will need to use your arrow keys or control plus right arrow for screen readers to land on increase and then press enter to add yourself to this activity.
  • Arrow down and continue this process for each and every activity you wish to sign up for, as the line by line is the same for each activity when arrowing down.
  • When you are done signing up for all of the fun and beneficial activities, click on or press enter on “Click to proceed with ticket completion.
  • A publicity waiver appears on the screen for the first activity you which you signed up.  You’ll need to check the “I agree” box or not.  Simply press the spacebar to check the box.
