These illustrated presentations have become so popular that we are introducing a slight modification. As an added perk of your Center membership, members can register for free and enjoy priority seating. Paid Center visitors can also register for free. While non-members and walk-ins are always welcome, they must also register and pay a nominal fee of $10, which supports our speaker programming.
