TIME-SENSITIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS
As a service to persons who are on our Mentor News mailing list, we continually seek ways to increase the value of your free-subscription and attract you to become a member of our Peer Resources Network. One recent strategy has resulted in well-known training leaders graciously providing Peer Resources with a complimentary seat in one of their upcoming events.
Peer Resources has made these free workshop seats available to members of the Peer Resources Network by means of a draw. If you would like to participate in the draw(s), all you need to do is become a member of our Network. The fee for an individual, one-year membership is $53.50.
Listed below are four events, the dates the sessions will take place, and the normal fee for enrollment or registration (this fee will be waived for the persons selected in the draw). Additional details about each of the four events are provided in the body of this issue of The Mentor News along with workshop leader contact information and website. You an register for any of these events and pay the fee for the registration without becoming a member of our Network, so this issue of The Mentor News will act simply as an announcement of these particular training events.
