Don Titmus said… - Hello Michele,
Checking in to see when you will be able to make a payment to the PPG for the Permaculture Design Course. The discount deadline is the 31st and it is also a cut off point for the course happening.
We (the PPG) have kept the course fees really low for many reasons community being one of them but we have to have 10 paid students to make the course work (Pay expenses). So i'm asking you and all the others that have RSVP to let us know where you are in the process. And To pay as soon as possible
Many Thanks, Don Titmus
