The Board has changed the procedure for assigning Pilgrims to Walks, effective immediately. A new Pilgrim Application form is available at the following link: Pilgrim Application. This new form incorporates several changes and must be used for all future applications to attend a CTC Emmaus Walk weekend. The APPLICANT section of the form includes: a statement about Walk cancellation (four weeks prior to the date a Walk is scheduled to start unless 20 Pilgrims are assigned); notification that Pilgrims will be assigned to the first available Walk (no applications will be assigned to any future Walk until all previous Walks have reached the optimal and maximum 36 Pilgrims); changes to several of the questions from a Yes/No answer to an explanation; space for indication of any mobility issues that need accommodation; and an authorization to release emergency or medical information as needed. The required deposit has also been increased to $75. The SPONSOR section of the form has a space to indicate whether the sponsor has the sponsor materials provided by the conference (if so, the conference can save 34 cents per item on postage back to the sponsor). If you have questions or need additional information you can contact any member of the Board or the Emmaus Office at: 2541 South IH-35, suite 200-283, Round Rock, TX, 78664-7357; by telephone at 512-694-6729; or by e-mail at ctcemmaus@sbcglobal.net.

Team Database: Selection of Team Members for Walks is conducted by a Regional Team Selection Committee approximately six months prior to eachWalk start date. In order to be considered for Team service, an individual must have an active team application on file in the Team Database. The initial application must be a hard copy mailed to the Conference Administrator. Once an application is entered into the database, hard copies should not be submitted for updates or changes. Updates for team service are added by the Administrator from Team Rosters provided by the Board Representative for each Walk. Changes in information or addition of previous experience information is accomplished by e-mail from an e-mail link in the database. It is an important part of the team selection process to keep your team application updated in the database. Use this link and follow the instructions to access your record. Use the Send E-mail link in the system to send an e-mail to the Administrator if information needs to be changed or added to your record.
