I would like to extend a special thanks to all of our sponsors who provide financial support
for our seminar. As you might expect, putting on a seminar is a substantial expense and
their contributions are important. Please keep them in mind for the services they provide.
This year, we are going to charge a nominal fee of $30 to help us with these expenses. The
cost of putting on this event to an increasingly large audience has risen. We have made
payment convenient as you will be able to pay online when you register.
We look forward to seeing you on October 24, 2014!
