    I suppose that if I don’t know in what city or state Atwood Community Center is located, then I probably don’t live close enough to attend. Still, it would be helpful to know the city and state….
    With no area codes, even the phone numbers are not helpful. :-(

    Dear Anonymous,

    The Atwood Community Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Sorry you won’t be able to join us.

    BTW, clicking on any of the links to the center would have given you the same info.

    Cheers!

Sunday, July 25th 3:00-4:30pm Central Time. 90 minutes, includes time for Q&A. The call-in number is a U.S. line, and you are responsible for the long distance charges.
