    There will be 5 workshops this year, plus the FREE "Music, Munch and Mingle" that kicks off our year in August.  Some quick math tells you that the prepaid package deal is a real bargain at $80.00!!  Not only do you save on workshop fees, but you also contribute to the financial security of the chapter in planning future programming.  Sorry, no refunds if a meeting is missed, but meeting notes are held by the chapter secretary for chapter members.

    Refreshments are available during all workshops at the mid-morning break.  Pastries, fruit and beverages are served for the cost of $1.00. Lunch after the workshops is a tradition with our chapter.  All workshop participants are invited to join the presenters and fellow attendees for lunch and camaraderie at a nearby restaurant.

    We will again be offering college credit for attending the local workshop series!  Information will be available at the August and September meetings.
