Information for Class Sponsors Please keep your listing concise with just the dates, name of the sponsor, location, brief comments and contact information. If possible, provide a link to your club web page with full information about the class. This allows the club to update the listing as necessary. Another option is to provide a link to a class flyer in PDF. |

I do my best to keep up with scheduling changes on these events, but there is
always the chance that one will be canceled or re-scheduled and I will not find
out about it. I suggest that you verify all dates and locations with the
