Beginning July 1, 2012 - Workshop Participants Should Bring Drink/Snack

Due to budget limitations, we will no longer be able to provide a morning snack for our workshops starting July 1, 2012. You are welcome to bring your own snack and drink to our trainings. There will occasionally be workshops which are collaborations with another agency, and at those events, the collaborator may provide a snack for participants. Also for a few events, such as Day Camp and Summer Camp, we will continue to provide snack and lunch. For those special events, we will note whether lunch is provided in the confirmation message. We regret having to eliminate that small benefit of a snack at workshops, but we hope you will understand the need for us to channel our money into presenters and events for you, the educators and families in our regions.
