[Athen] EASI Webinars: Ten Webinars are Scheduled

[Prof Norm Coombs]

EASI Webinars from now to Thanksgiving!  The list below includes 7 public 
Webinars and 3 paid series which are free to EASI annual members.  We are 
planning lots

more for the winter and they will be posted soon.

Membership does at least 3 things for you.  Besides giving you access to 
all the paid Webinar series and giving you a 20% reduction on courses, you 
can take pride in

helping to make it possible for us to provide a number of free Webinars for 
the public.  You can help others while helping yourself!

Here, I have only provided a skeleton about each event.  Read more and
