Register Early - Help us to help you!
Dear Potential Class Patrons, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage each of you to register early for our classes, trips and other activities. In almost all cases, our ability to conduct a class is based on having eight paying participants registered. The decision to run or not to run a program must be made a minimum of three days prior to the advertised start of the class. This allows us the necessary time to inform the instructor and purchase the supplies that are needed for the class. Therefore, it is imperative that you register early in order to assist us in making an informed decision as to whether or not to run a particular program. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. See you in class.
