Repeat of the First Webinar Series...beginning March 6th...6pm EST

Received word that our first series with Go To Meeting last October...had glitches in the recording end, and the much awaited series to be available...

 

...will require us to offer the live series once again, all five of the sessions.  The glitches have been fixed...and needless to say...if you missed the first series, or a number of the sessions...this will be your opportunity.

The primary purpose for the redo...is to provide the necessary content to complete our offering series...and soon following will be available thru F&W Publications for purchase.  And thus to expedite, we will be holding the Go To Meetings twice weekly beginning Tuesday, March 6th...at 6pm EST (an hour earlier than last October)...and then Thursday the 8th...followed by the 13th, 15th and 20th...

Those that registered and participated in past F&W Go To Meeting webinars will be receiving an email notice, and link for registration. Also, when I get the link to register, I will provide it here in my blog and on Facebook...as well as Wetcanvas.com   Hope you'll be joining us...here is the outline for the first session, March 6th....
