What is the possibility of registering for workshops via e-mail?
I live just south of the Canadian/US border (Ferndale, WA) and would like to a quick fix. Is that possible? Or can I fax an application with CC information?
Thanks, Cathy Thompson
Your workshops sound great… does one have to be a member of the guild to attend these events?
I am a new member for 2010 and have to say…I just love your website! What a wonderful (and organized) collection of the goings-on in Vancouver …..I’m so pleased to be a member… now if I only lived closer
Cathy – We really aren’t set up for any other method of registration other than by mail and a cheque or money order.
Linda – Anyone can attend the workshops.
