PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORKSHOP(S) CAREFULLY. DO NOT REGISTER UNLESS YOU KNOW WITH A FAIR DEGREE OF CERTAINTY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ATTEND: A lot of planning, preparation and expense go into offering these workshops. Additionally, because of the large numbers of registrations we typically receive, we are often forced to turn others away once we've reached capacity. When you register, but fail to attend without extending to us the courtesy of canceling your reservation, you do a disservice to those we've had to turn away. We appreciate your understanding.
