Hello Passionate Penners!

Wooo Hooo! We are very excited to unveil our class offerings along with teacher bios and supply lists! These are all now live on the website and you can start browsing through to decide what your first, second and third choices will be for your one-day and 4-day classes. We hope you will be pleasantly surprised!

Within a few days we will have all of the registration forms for class choices, tutorials, housing, travel, half-day excursions and conference merchandise pre-orders up on the site as well. Whew! What a lot of information!! You will have until March 15^th to make your class selections using your registration priority number, fill out all of your forms (Travel is not due until June 15^th) and make your final payment. After March 15^th registrations will be processed by post date only.

To help in making your travel plans:

The conference opens Saturday, July 25^th. That is the arrival date, but no classes will be held that day. Plan to arrive on campus before dinner, which starts at 5pm. The opening program starts at 7pm. Classes begin on Sunday morning, July 26^th. The last day of classes is Friday, July 31^st, and there will be a closing program that evening. The departure date is Saturday, August 1^st. No classes will be held that day.

We recently became aware that some of you did not make it onto the email blog list. We hope we have updated it to include everyone now. If this is the first time you are receiving a blog from us, you may go to the website to see the previous two blogs we have posted there.

The next Blog Post will include detailed instruction for using the online forms.
