Sammy Long is presenting at the April meeting, but he is also staying for “hands-on” workshops. The monthly meeting is free to attend. Guests are also welcome. The workshops are day-long events (10-5 with lunch provided) for which there is an additional charge. Note: Sunday and Monday workshops are independent. To be abundantly clear, those attending will attend either the Sunday -OR- the Monday workshop. Material covered will be the same for both days, so you will not be missing anything by choosing one over the other.
Places are a) limited, b) first come-first serve, c) limited to members, although non-members may be able to attend based on availability.
