Here is a world map of where all the PfB seminars in 2008 are. We will be adding more.  Check back!  For more details click on the blue dot. Because it's difficult to get them placed exactly right, they are placed "approximately" in the city.  Directions/location of the seminar will be sent when you register or inquire.  This is a world map - just put your mouse on the map, click and move your mouse and the map should move!
