NOTE FROM THE OPCE COURSE DIRECTOR:
Unfortunately, what I hoped would not happen—happened. We were forced to cancel our May 15-18, 2020 CE course at Big Cedar Lodge because of restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. I made the decision late Wednesday afternoon 4/1/2020, after consultation with Big Cedar. Some of you may have already gotten an email message from Big Cedar cancelling your room reservation. Unfortunately, the instant that our course was taken off of Big Cedar’s books, their computers automatically shot out the email. I’m sorry, that their computers beat me to the punch, but their computers are a little faster than me. However, as promised I’m letting you know as soon as possible.
So, what happens now for those of you that have already registered for this course. I am offering three options to accommodate whatever your needs may be.
First, for those of you who were relying on us for your annual 20 hours of CE credit, I’m offering to transfer your registration to our course at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Destin, Florida, November 6-9, 2020. If you have never been to Sandestin, you are in for a treat. It’s a beautiful 2400-acre resort right on the Gulf of Mexico. Also, the weather in November is beautiful, the ocean is still at 75 degrees and all of the crazies from summer have left—it’s a very peaceful and relaxing environment!
Second, if you would like to come to next year’s Big Cedar course May 14-17, 2021, we will transfer your registration to that course.
Third, for those of you who wish to cancel your registration, we will send you a check refunding your tuition in full.
PLEASE REPLY BY EMAIL TO [email protected] AND LET US KNOW WHICH OPTION YOU HAVE CHOSEN. WE CAN ALSO BE REACHED BY PHONE AT (859) 269-9492.
I’m truly sorry for the decision to cancel, but I had no choice. It’s a major disappointment for me and I’m sure for many of you. I sincerely hope that we will see you either in Florida this fall or at Big Cedar next year.
Please note that as of today 4/3/20 we have also had to cancel our planned Cruise/CE Course to Northern European Capitals in September—another major disappointment!
Best Regards,
Jim
