We hope you find this helpful, no need to break the bank to hold your space. . . Registration deadlines for several workshops
will be posted as necessary, when ample time to prepare materials, and/or to make economical travel arrangements are necessary.
Please register as early as possible so that we do not need to cancel due to low enrollment and then find close to the date

especially if it is past a posted registration deadline for a particular workshop. Thank you.

you long to realize the winter months are unpredictable here in Wisconsin. It is for this reason that the winter schedule
