CALIFORNIA FIELD TRIP AND OPTIONAL ECOFARM REGISTRATION

All students new to Terroir winter quarter, and all able continuing students, will be participating in a terroir-laden CA-based field trip during weeks 3 and 4.  An option during the field trip for interested students is participation in the EcoFarm Conference near Monterey, CA 20-23 January: < www.eco-farm.org >  See email below for registration details.  Quad rooms will sell out quickly. 

The faculty  received the following change from EcoFarm regarding the registration info they provided and what we announced in class  week ten.   Please register ASAP  for “registration, meals and quad housing” following the directions below.  All students new to Terroir winter quarter are expected to participate in the CA field trip. Participation in the 3-day EcoFarm Conference is optional for all students.

Subject: Registration Instructions for Students!

Hello Sarah!  I discussed this case with Ken our Executive Director and we will be able to offer a slightly different arrangement which we believe will greatly simplify things in the future.  We would like to offer that the remaining students register with the following discount code:  EVRGRN5 Please have your students enter the discount code exactly as it appears above in the discount code field at the TOP of the registration page, and press “Apply”.  This will take 5% off of their registration for the full conference in a Triple/Quad. Unfortunately we are not able to offer a refund for the 5% discount to students who have already registered. Making changes in the registration and payment system is unfortunately difficult and costly for us to manage. Please let me know if you have any questions or difficulties with this process.  Warmest Regards,  Gabi  — Gabi Salazar
