There is no way for you to truly understand what this program has to offer unless you

come to a presentation.  We have 2 or 3 more public presentations scheduled this spring.

THESE WILL BE ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE.

Call for presentation dates

 

In the North Boulder/Niwot area,

please call for those locations: 303-652-1439

In addition, we would be pleased to come to your or a friend's home to give you an overview

of the program, but the public presentations will be much more fun, with other faculty present.
