the amount you will actually pay). The average costs are<BR>often about $200,
but in the past participants<BR>have paid between 0 and $600. If transportation
issues or childcare<BR>costs would get in your way, please contact us and<BR>we
will try to help. Contact us with other needs.<BR><BR>Registration is required.
