You betcha' they're worth attending! KCRAR schedules these 90-minutes workshops so you can hear important, timely information without waiting months for something to be approved as a CE course. Start time is always 10 a.m., so you don't have to fight the traffic, either. You can even arrive late and leave early without penalty!

Drop in for these and you'll be glad you did. Most don't require pre-registration, so if you find your schedule has a few minutes to spare, come on down!
