I just got the below email from TruPrep in Atlanta via Meetup. I probably won't be able to make it, but who knows. Posting in case anyone else may be interested. It seems like a pretty long, comprehensive class for the price. Is anyone else familiar with the group providing the instruction? I went to their in-house BOB class a few months ago. It was free and I learned a lot and will probably go to others in the future.
