2) Show up anytime after the doors open to the public at 6pm. Bring a meal to share for the 6-7pm potluck dinner. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are NOT a guest at the Notch, you must park on Lost Valley Road (not Lost River Road!!!) behind the hostel’s picket fence and walk through the backyard. In the event of a snowstorm, no street parking is allowed so members of the public may need to walk or shuttle in from town.

3) Tune in via Instagram Live; we’ll be streaming from our account @NotchHostel. We are foregoing Zoom this year due to the technical difficulties with getting the PowerPoint presentations and audio to work on the projector and Zoom simultaneously. If you’re an AV tech who can volunteer your services, message us!
