Re: [Callers] Dare To Be Square 2011 - Contra Callers

6 Jan 2011

   FYI regarding the tuition cost of the weekend. I just registered, and
   the registration process shows a tuition cost of $308 rather than $180,
   all the way through the registration process, right up until the final
   billing page. I talked to someone at the school who said it was a
   glitch in their software, but I sent them a message about it after I
   registered in hopes that this would be fixed. My suggestion would be to
   pay the $100 deposit for now until things get ironed out.

   Should be a dynamite weekend!
