Participation in any (OR ALL) workshops/refreshers is free to members, $5 for non-members (which includes membership). Our open house Sundays begin with a Research Review and Refresher - each month we feature a review of research techniques or materials. Bring your lap-top (we have wi-fi) or use one of our internet-connected computers.  During the Sunday meetings, we are on-line for those members who cannot join us on-site.  There will be plenty of people on-hand to assist with research questions.
