Hello everyone!

I hope you are all safe from COVID and tropical rains. I am so pleased to share this information with all of you. 😊

After you register for any of these courses, make sure you save to your calendar so you have the Zoom link. I’ll also email you prior to the course to remind you of your registration and to provide the link.
