*ABOUT FREE MEMBER WORKSHOPS:
Each membership year, 2 workshops will be offered free to members with as much advanced notice as possible. However, we cannot guarantee your attendance nor are we liable for the value of these workshops if 1) while your dues are current, you choose not to attend the free workshops that are offered to Passionate Ink members each year or 2) you choose to join Passionate Ink later in the membership year after both workshops have occurred. On submitting your Dues Payment and Member Registration form, you agree to not pursue Passionate Ink for reimbursement of any perceived value for these two workshops should you not be able to attend them due to the reasons mentioned above. Please see the workshops page for workshop dates, rates, and details.
**ABOUT MID-YEAR SIGNUPS:
Passionate Ink’s membership year will run Jan 1 – Dec 31st starting 2020. Sign-ups during 2019 will be pro-rated at $25.00 due to technical difficulties with RWA dues processing. Starting Jan 1, 2020, dues will return to $35.00 and mid-year signups will no longer be pro-rated.
