Our 2013 catalog is now at the printers. If you have pre-registered, you can expect to receive the catalog in late February. Ten days or so after that, the catalog will be bulk-mailed to everyone else on our mailing list. A few days after that, in March, the new catalog will appear here at our website and we will open online registrations. Remember that pre-registration is the best way to get a jump on the classes you want, and that pre-registration ends on February 15. If you're not on our mailing list, sign up here to make sure you get a catalog!
