REMINDER: These groups are typically between 6-15 so if you rsvp and then
circumstances do not permit you to attend, we ask that you please do the

We are all volunteers and with a small group it is a great inconvenience
when several do not show as expected. Thank you for supporting our effort to
provide cost effective continuing education to SLPs/ AUDs.
