We have received many requests to set a long schedule so that people could make advance plans. In doing this, we discovered that many of the best meeting spaces at universities and hotels cannot be scheduled so far ahead. Below is the entire schedule through Summer 2008. Where no location is indicated, call us at 805 687-7171 - or revisit this page - for exact locations. The site information will be available at least sixty days before each course date.
