I just got an email from WS, here is what I copied and pasted. I am sure you can go to their website and look for these free classes. The ones that require reservations are an hour long...but still FREE. The other ones are only 15 minutes and do not require reservations.

The closest one to me is over 20 miles away, so there is no way I am driving that far for a 15 minute demo...and the hour long ones are only offered on SUNDAYS at 11:00, so I would have to miss church for that...

Anyhow, I just wanted to share this with you all!
