If you are an absolute never-played-before beginner, you are welcome to attend and learn how to play the Dummy Dot way! 

*This guarantee is not an actual guarantee but is merely a humorous way for Mim to make this sound like a bad 80s late-night informercial! However, she has found success 95.67% of the time! So, the odds are in your favor!
