Just a bit of clarification . . .
Last week, we laid out the plan for when Mr. Josh will be recovering from surgery; schedule changes, instructor substitution and the like.
We did receive several questions on when these changes were going to begin. I apologize for any confusion.
The schedule changes will begin as of Monday, March 19th
This is about 2 weeks away. This schedule will continue through (at least) Sunday, April 15th. Some of the adjustments may continue after that.
We hope that the schedule adjustments will cause very little disruption in everyone’s training.
Beginning Monday, March 19th . . .
