Final plans for the conference are all in place. This is going to be the largest one we've had thus far. Because of increased costs in food service, building use, and other expenses new this year, we had to raise our tuition. It's still one of the least expensive one day conferences available to aspiring writers. Until July 15, the tuition is as follows:
Members: $70
Members 60+: $60
Member couples: $95
Non-member: $85
Non-member 60+ $75
Non-member couple $100

Remember this includes a Continental breakfast, lunch, snacks, 4 workshops, and the key-note address from Don Aycock. Sign up sheets for personal 15 conferences with Don Aycock, Janice Thompson, DiAnn Mills, Kathleen Y'Barbo, Terry Burns, and Anita Higman will be available on a first come, first served basis at the registration tables.

Hope to see you there.
