Materials:
  The book that we will be using for the class is "LPIC I Exam Cram 2" which 
can be purchased at ttp://www.skattabrain.com/css-books-plain/0789731274.html 
for $28.50 and includes a test exam on a CD. You must have a copy of the book 
before attending training.
  I still have not started developing the training materials but I will post 
them for review when I do.
************************************

We have confirmations from Neil Hever for the conference room (seats 12) and 
from Terry Collings who will be our instructor.

The cost of the training will be $45.00 per person and will be used to provide 
small donations to Terry and Neil (actually the radio station) for their 
generosity.  Payment will be due no later than start of training on September 
10th so you can pay at the door as you arrive.

The Wednesday evening tests will be administered by Faber Fedor who is a 
registered LPI test administrator.  The Level 1 Certification consists of two 
tests, 101 and 102, and will cost $50.00 each for a total of $100.00. Payment 
for each test is due prior to beginning the test so you can pay on test night 
if you prefer.

Lastly, provided for your benefit is an email from Faber with a short 
biography of our instructor Terry:

Payment is due no later than the beginning of the test.  

To make it clear, if I do not have total payment by the beginning of the test,
you will not be able to take the test.
