Providing your email also enables you to receive the Council Calendar, a monthly e-mail of upcoming programs.  We promise never to send you unsolicited e-mails, sell or rent your e-mail address.

We accept the following credit cards for online purchases:  VISA, MasterCard, and American Express.

For a refund, we will issue a credit to the credit card on the original order. You may see a debit and credit for the original transactions or the two transactions may offset one another. Please allow 3-4 weeks for the refund to appear on your credit card statement. 

Refund requests must be made in writing and sent to us via e-mail 24 hours in advance of the program.
