That date will be announced during the 10th session. If the opportunity for make-up is missed\, then the participant may have to attend a session that is offered by other Coalitions. The contact information for the other Coalitions will be provided\, and it will be up to the participant to contact that Coalition to make arrangements to attend. It is up to the other Coalition to determine if there is space available. \n
