WHY PHOENIX IN JUNE?
Average temperatures in Phoenix in June range between a high of 104°F and low of 77°F. "Why," you might wonder, "would they arrange a workshop in Phoenix in June?" We work inside the hotel during the days and are free in the evenings when Phoenix is cooler and the dry air allows for a comfortable evening. By holding our workshop during the offseason, we are able to offer a very comfortable hotel with good food at a bargain price. We do hope you will join us in Phoenix!
