Registering for events on STARS
After your Safe Account has been set up, click on "STARS V2.0" to search for
events. You can search by name of workshop, date of workshop, or by zip code.
State Support Team Region 8’s zip code is 44221. We have found that the easiest
way to search for a workshop is by the date.
