Detailed Help on Future Event Registration
Welcome
Please review; then press the Done button.
Event Registration
=> Members (and others) are able to register for Future Events without needing a Login account. Thus the registration process is completed without access to all of applications' features. The OLLI Reno Outdoors website contains links that direct Members to the registration page. Here, Members select the Event they want to register for and then enter their name and cell phone number. These data are added to an Event's Sign-Up Sheet.
Events may have options or restrictions. These include: Multiple Mileage Options; Meeting Place Options; and Participant Limits. If an option and/or a restriction is enabled for an Event, Members will be able to select an option (e.g., a shorter distance or meet at a Ride Share Location instead of a Starting Location) or will see a message about the restrictions (e.g., Event already has the maximum number of participants signed up).
Members can register for, or unregister from, a Future Event up until 9PM on the day before the Event. After 9PM, the Event will not be available. Leaders will be able to Create/Print a Sign-Up Sheet for the Event. The idea is that a Sign-Up Sheet is printed and taken with the Leader. At the Event, they mark it up (cross out "no-shows", add folks that did not register, etc.). Once a Sign-Up Sheet is "marked up", we call it a Participation Sheet.
Note:
There may be times when no Future Events are scheduled (it happens occasionally). You will see a message
Notice! There are currently no Future Events scheduled; check back later!
As it says, check back later to see what Events are available.

Review the results page; it must say SUCCESS: otherwise, you have not been registered
There are numerous conditions that could cause Failures, Warnings or Errors. Hopefully, you will see only SUCCESS: on the results page. Some of the messages you might see are:
We did not find you in our Outdoor Member database - This may be the first time you are participating in an Outdoor Adventure Event; thus we have not had the opportunity to add you to our database.
Optionally (worst case), you are an Outdoor Adventure Member, but you mistyped your name (it happens to the best of us).
In either case, if you think you are already an Outdoor Member, click the "Yes" checkbox. You will be able to retype your name (or fix that typo).
We did not find you in the OLLI Membership database. As a Guest, you can attend an Outdoor Event one time. Guests are required to fill out an OLLI Liability Waiver. Click the "Fill out a Waiver" button to do it online.
We found you in the OLLI Membership table, however, you are listed as a Guest. You must join OLLI to attend another Outdoor Event.
You have been Wait-Listed for an Event that has spots for only so many people. And you are registering after that limit has been reached. If others, ahead of you in line, drop out, you may be able to attend.
The Failure message indicates that, due to some conditions, the app is unable to register you for a Future Event. These could be due to:
Your Fall or Spring OLLI Membership is expired or the Future Event you have select is beyond your Membership's end date.
You have a Virtual OLLI Membership. Virtual Members are not allowed to attend Outdoor Adventure Events.
You have not joined OLLI and you have already attended an Outdoor Adventure Event as a Guest. You are allowed to be a Guest one time (per year).
