Ignite! at DID Information 
The Ministry of Immigration is excited to invite the members of Ignite! to celebrate Darbukastan Independence Days and host the effigy burn on Saturday night. Ignite! guests are welcome to join us from Friday through Sunday or Saturday only, based on your availability. Sign up for the one you think most likely to give us an accurate headcount. Registration is capped at 250. Please make sure you have followed the Ignite! signup procedures before registering here. 

DID offers classes, music, jams, and potlucks, which you are invited- and encouraged!- to join in. 

• DID is very friendly, welcoming, and a little bit weird. We'll get on wonderfully. It is a bit different from Ignite!, though, so come ready for a new experience. We're happy to have you.
• Friday and Saturday night are community potlucks. Bring something to share. Please clearly label your dish and mark any known allergies so that all of our citizens can participate safely. You are responsible for the cleaning up and disposal of your dish at the end of the potluck.
• We may have need of some volunteers with the expanded attendance- let us know when you check-in if you are interested in volunteering, and we will see if there are any needs that would be a good fit.
