Dear Cynthia R,
Thank you for your inquiry about last year’s conference. Sorry I did not see your comment in time. If you are interested, we are having our next one on Saturday, August 6, 2011 at Yale University from registration at 8 am to 5pm closing.
Our format will be as the 2010 listed. I will be updating the information soon. This is a joint workshop sponsored by COSLAA and SLAA and many couples come. Our meeting will be closed to addicts, and there will be separate getting current rooms. We have some shared topic meetings that can have a mixed participation. I think the cost remains at $18 per person.
In service,
Brenda B.
