Our Calendar is set for the Spring & Summer and we’re already hard at work booking Speakers for the Fall of 2008. The following dates are all confirmed and finalized, so mark them down in your calendars lest you miss one of these insightful and fascinating talks.
As usual, they will all be held at the Arts and Letters Club, located at 14 Elm Street, and they begin at 7pm. Unlike past years, they will all be held in the 3rd floor Studio and we will have our own Bar up there. There will also be appetizers and snacks before all the Events. This comes about because there is a new Catering Manager in place and the booking arrangements and rental policies have changed for us. We are very pleased to be able to continue in the same venue and with added bonuses in services available to us. Sadly, however, this also comes with an increased cost. Thus, we have had to raise the cost of admission to all of our Events.
The new cost at the door will be $20 per Person or $10 for Students, while the cost of Annual Membership has been raised to $75 or $45 for Students. Membership allows free admission to all of our Events for the Calendar year and a discount to TypeCon and any other workshops we offer. We will be having more than 6 Events each year, so it will be well worth the cost - even if you miss the odd Event, which we hope you don’t.
