Payment policy & registration options
Please feel free to give more or less than the suggested donation amount. We are dependent on your tax-deductible contributions to pay the expenses of making the NVC training available. However, we would prefer you give less and still come; we trust we will get the support we need.
You may register online with a credit card and/or a PayPal account. You can also register over phone or through email, then mail in or bring your payment with you to the first class. If you are not registering online, we ask that you call or email us with your phone number for contact in case any class details change.
The link above takes you to a brief explaination on how we've mapped your signup info to PayPal's 'buy now button' interface.
We’re pleased to be offering online class registration and payment. We are using PayPal to process our transactions and if you already have a PayPal account then you’re familiar with the simplicity involved. Otherwise it’s similar to any other secure online payment utilizing a credit card - and you’ll have the option of creating a PayPal account in the process to speed up registration next time (if you wanted to want to take two different classes, for example).
Requests
Could you please refrain from using scents when attending, to keep the environment safe for those who have allergies?
Since our space upstairs is not wheelchair accessible, could you please call us if you would like to attend an event, but are not able to? With enough advance notice, we have the option to use the Quaker Meetinghouse downstairs.
