THE LASTEST ON THE
DIAMOND BAR ENERGY AND WATER FAIRE
Notes for the General Public: You can use the application form at the bottom of the regular course page to make a reservation to attend. This form was designed for a teacher, but where it asks for "Dept" and Institution", just put "home". Use your home address and phone in the school information area. It will ask for your highest degree. Please put the letter "N" and the number in your party, e.g.N2. No need to put anything in the Home information section. Remember, by making your reservation, you will get your free hot dog. The information about fees that first comes up before the application form, does not apply to the General Public.
