    5. Photographic Release. I understand that I may be photographed while volunteering and that such photos may be used in the organization’s marketing and promotional materials (e.g., website, print, materials). I hereby release any interest I may have in any photographic images, video or audio recordings that may be taken by the organization. I furthermore permit the organization to use my image without compensation.
    6. Behavior. I understand that my behavior at The Crest at Willow-Witt must comply with all rules and regulations of the State of Oregon and The Crest at Willow-Witt.
