The 2021 Beginner Certification Course was rolling along all summer.

We have six more participants who have completed and passed the course!

Nine of the original 20 participants have passed the course and three more are in the process of having their samples judged. The private Facebook group continues to be an excellent source of communication, with members asking questions and cheering each other on as they work on their samples.

I will be stepping down as the administrator at the end of this session. It has been such a great experience and I thank Kathy Roletter very much for choosing me to be the Administrator for 2021. My life is changing as I explore retirement, so I felt it best to step down at the end of the 2021 course and give someone else a chance to step up. Board Member and 2020 Beginner Certification Course graduate, Dorinda Balanecki, will be the new Level 1 certification administrator.
