Therefore, we present our fees as a sliding scale. The minimum fee is what we must collect in order to cover our costs. You may be able to offer a bit more. If some people pay more than the minimum, we are better able to keep the base fee low for everyone. If you would like to attend events, but need financial assistance to do so, please contact us. No person should fail to attend for lack of the requested fees. However, it is important that you call or email ahead if you need to make financial arrangements.
