Fees & Registration

You may register and pay online or by mail. Please read the full registration details and instructions. We accept personal checks and all major credit cards (Visa and MasterCard are preferred). Online registrations are securely processed using PayPal. No deposit is required; advance payment is due in full to reserve your space at the event. Reservations and payment must be made in advance.

We cannot refund money for this event. However, if you are unable to attend, we will gladly apply the amount of payment to a future PEN New England event or membership.

All proceeds of this event benefit PEN New England, a 501(c)3 organization; your registration fee is fully tax-deductible.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 19, 2004

We will continue to register at the door on the day of the event on a first come, first served basis until all classes are filled.

When registering, you should make a note of your first and second choices for craft classes. (Please note: Class preferences are accepted on a first come, first served basis. We will do our best to accommodate your first choices, but classes will fill up quickly. If neither of your top choices are available, we will assign you to a class.)

How to Register and Pay

When you make your online purchase via PayPal, you will be asked to provide us with your name, address, telephone number and credit card information. This will serve as your event registration, and you will be provided with a Web receipt and an e-mail receipt as confirmation of your payment.
