COST

Quite obviously I am investing A LOT of time and effort into preparing this event, including securing fabulous guests from across the nation, and then I will be working hard all day and through the night.

As a result, I ask you for a voluntary donation of $25.00. If you cannot afford it or if you feel my programs are not worth $25.00, you are invited to pay less or come for free, If you only plan to come to the 5 pm – 6 pm Q+A, the suggested donation is $10.00.

I hope to create a special experience for us all! Since I am unemployed but supporting a family, I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! Your support is deeply appreciated
