**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.
