Protocol For The Day:

Workshop participants are asked to help with set –up /take down of the room at the beginning and end of the day. In order to do so, you will need to arrive at 9 a.m. so that we can start promptly at 9:30 a.m. We should be tidied away and ready to leave for home no later than 4 p.m.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

  • Leave your cares at home and enjoy the day!
