We'll do our classroom lessons for 6 hours each day in the lovely and well-appointed conference rooms at Office This on East Harry St in the old Wichita Mall complex.  Please be prepared to be in the classroom and ready to go at 9:00 each Saturday.  We've got a lot of material to cover and we'll need every minute we can get in the classroom.

Register Early - Space is limited. This School is likely to offered only once per year and this is the first time in 3 years that it has been offered.  So if you're on the fence about it, just beware that you may have to stay on that fence for at least another year.

Please come prepared to take lots of notes in addition to the textbook you'll receive.
