It is very difficult to get the classes and students coordinated,so that everyone can be available at the same times. We realize that most of you will have to take off work or make arrangements ahead of time to be able to attend these classes. And most of the instructors need a certain amount of students to enroll or it’s not worth their time to travel here to teach a class for us, so I want everyone to be aware that it is a possibility that a class could be cancelled. If you have to make hotel, flight, car rental or any other reservations to be able to attend, try to keep this in mind. I usually keep the class enrollment open to up to a week before the actual day of the class, to be able to fill it. You are always welcome to call and check on the status of the class. Thanks, Laura Allison
