I am sooooooooooo there!! Attending the mini conference two summers ago at which both MCT and SWB spoke was amazing----plus I met some fabulous women there ;)

I'm going to go :) I missed it two years ago, and was sad it wasn't an option last year. I'm still sad I missed seeing SWB:( I have one local HS conference that I attend just for the used book and curriculum fair, but I have zero interest in the speakers there. So I am really, really excited to see this! I just forwarded the email to DH so he can take that Friday off, hopefully!

[Luckymama]

Yay!

I will be there with bells on--not only because I have workshops to present, but because last time it was a wonderful experience! This conference has an academic focus. It is small and great for hanging out and talking with other homeschool moms. Last time we had a wonderful dinner out together, a curriculum view/swap/sale, and time to get together and swap tips and get support. Be aware that Dr. Kemnitz has arranged new and greatly improved accommodations for us! I am looking forward to seeing many of you there.

I'm moving to the Philly area this spring! Is there somewhere to register online?

[sassenach]

I wish!!! Sadly, there's no way. I really, really, really hope they'll record it. I was sorely disappointed lat year when MCT pulled out of the GHC California convention.

More information will be out next week. I expect we'll be able to register only as we did so two years ago.

 

It will be nice to meet you and welcome you to the area :)

Rachel_rfwp,

Please add me to the list of those who would love to have videos and/or podcasts available. I plan to attend, but I would love to be able to catch any sessions I can't make.
