 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Applications from members of SFMS clubs will be accepted beginning February 1, 2008.  Applications from other regional federations and the public at large will be accepted beginning April 1, 2008.  Your club membership dues must be current and your club’s dues to the Federation must also be paid before you will be accepted as an SFMS member.

 A non-refundable administrative deposit of $25 per person must accompany the application.  The full amount may be remitted at that time.  The balance is due four weeks before the workshop start date.  No reminders will be sent.  If you have not received written confirmation of your application within 30 days, please contact the registrar or education chair.

 Refunds are at the discretion of the Education Chair and the workshop director; however no refunds will be made once the workshop has started. There is no adjustment for late arrival or early departure.  No fee will be charged if a class is cancelled.

 The application form is on the next page, along with the course offerings.  Please read it carefully.  Note that some classes are marked with an asterisk (*), meaning they are Intermediate or Advanced, and therefore have prerequisites.  Please do not sign up for these classes unless you have the required experience.  Contact the instructor for more information on these classes.

 About instructors:
