Hi, Everyone!
We're off to a great start in publicizing this year's Festival!
Thanks to Kade for getting our catalog and registration form on line, and to Digital Express for getting all our catalogs mailed out this week to everyone on our mailing list! I'm hearing from people across the U.S. that they've received the catalogs and from others that they're checking out our web site. We like to hear this!
If you are interested in registering for classes that have a maximum class size: I'd like to encourage you to do so soon, because we're already receiving registrations for those classes. If your class is filled when we receive your registration, I'll call or email you immediately to let you know and give you the opportunity to select another class(es) or return your check.
We appreciate your help in marketing the Festival. As I mentioned before, our slogan for this summer is "Participate in 2008! Each One Reach One!" Last year we came short of paying all our bills by about $2,000 because of some unexpected expenses in airfare and courtesy cars for guest artists. Though $2,000 isn't much when you consider our budget, we know we can do better this year if all of you would help us by encouraging a friend or relative to register.
Thanks for remembering: Your registration fees are low because of all the in-kind and financial support of hundreds of people.
Travel information for out-of-state registrants: Go on line to www.alaskaair.com to make your travel arrangements.
We appreciate all the kudos we're receiving! We have something this year for everyone who loves the arts! And remember - there are classes for all levels of experience.
We are looking forward to welcoming many new registrants, and we're always happy to welcome back returnees. We are all working hard to make this -- or 29th Festival -- our best one ever!
Please contact us if we can help you in any way.
Cheers,
Jo Ryman Scott
