If you have been trying to email me at sifumotter@jkdinstitute.com there is a problem with my hosting service (they suck) I am now aware of the 'permanent error' message you were getting. Please use sifumotter@earthlink.net for the time being.

!!Emergency Notice!!
We will NOT be having class starting Nov. 5th. There is a problem with Seminole County Impact Fee for the location and we will not be able to move in as planed. If you have paid for November, your payment will begin as soon as we start class again. I apologize for the inconvenience. This does NOT affect the Richard Bustillo Seminar.
