OFAEMA furnished other food stuffs for the students. Still need private space for board to use. Pricing on classes still half or full day calculations. Will use dollars per day for figuring class costs. We are set up as a catalog on the website. Discussion ensued to assure membership to get discounts. This is a per person membership.

CityMax is the main site we use in conjunction with PayPal for class registration. Rick will explore other options for payment issues. Confirmation before payment is an issue. No shows are not reimbursed. Instructor worksheets still need to be done one per instructor so the information can be added to the website publication.
