Contact the laser volunteers at laser-auths@pumpingstationone.org and a volunteer will contact you with availability and schedule a time.

 

If no authorizations are scheduled in the next 30 days, then post on the Google Group email list or #lasers slack channel; look for a recent thread about laser authorizations and post there.

The laser volunteers will be notified automatically after the form is submitted. You will then be notified when the next authorization is scheduled. (approx. every 2 weeks at the authorizers discretion)
