I have received this many times over the last 48-72 hours, but I have held off sharing it as I was trying to learn whether this webinar is free or not. Their link

HERE</a> says members only (minimum cost to be a member is $35), but many (including some of the presenters) are under the impression that the webinar is free. I am still not sure if non-members will be let in the Zoom room to watch the webinar, but I wanted
to get it to the SC Aquaponics folks. There are some great speakers, so I encourage you to participate if possible!</div>
