'''Guidelines for a Successful and Rewarding Visit'''<br>
*'''Please DO NOT bring food or drink to the Center.'''
*'''LDS Account Registration''': Each LDS Member of the group needs to have an LDS Login Account BEFORE coming to the Center. Please have them log into[https://ldsaccount.lds.org https://ldsaccount.lds.org ]or another church account site to make sure their username and password are working. For members who don't have a current account, have them register for one prior to your visit. They can do this by going to [https://ldsaccount.lds.org/#detail=account https://ldsaccount.lds.org] and clicking on the Register for an LDS Account button on the right side of the screen and entering the necessary information, which includes their church membership number and birth date. Their membership number is on their temple recommend or can be provided by their ward clerk.
