MariannNOVA Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Excuse the duplicate post -- I decided a more specific title would be best. Are you planning on attending? There are 'perks' for volunteers - check them out on the website. Do you use MCT? OR Are you thinking of using MCT? I will be 'working' at the MCT booth at the Northern Virginia Home Education Conference at the Dulles Expo Center, July 9th and 10th. RFWP and I are beginning our hunt for people to staff the booth. Here is the website for the conference: http://www.novaconference.net/ There are others on the WTM board who have staffed the RFWP (Royal Fireworks Press) booths at very recent conventions/conferences. Above, I have pasted the photo of The Dragon Academy's booth the evening before she was MOBBED with THRONGS of homeschoolers who couldn't wait to begin using MCT! And......just so you can read about what a great time this actually might turn out to be (I'm much nicer in person than I appear to be on this board :glare:), I am posting the links to some convention, conference, MCT threads. I would absolutely LOVE some more MCT/RFWP fanatics, er, :001_huh: uh :tongue_smilie:, I mean devotees, users, considerees, and aficionados to commit just a little of their time that weekend. We are really a fun bunch....read on and see for yourself, and please PM me or email me at mybluehound@gmail.com to ask me any questions, or so I can put you in contact with RFWP. Thanks in advance! http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142955&highlight=slice (ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MCT THREADS.......EVER!) http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165904&highlight=MCT (The inside story of what it was really like at Royal Fireworks Press FIRST Homeschool Convention) http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169377&highlight=MCT (includes Radiobrain's booth experience) http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167371&highlight=MCT (Happygrace's dd and her birthday/get well card from MCT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Kirsten~ Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well, I'm planning to attend, in large part to see the MCT materials! :D So I hope you get lots of help, and I look forward to meeting you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marla Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Looks great! Wish I could be there but I live out in the wild west. :) Do you know if MCT ever runs a sale on their Level 1-3 products like free shipping, etc.. at various times of the year? I plan to order Town Level for the fall and just wondered if there is an optimum time to buy it to get the best price break. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Marianne! There is no one better than you to run a RFWP/MCT booth! :D (although dragon academy and I aren't too shabby.Well, DA is awesome I am mediocre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Marianne! There is no one better than you to run a RFWP/MCT booth! :D Radio, the only reason Mariann is so much better than us is she has years and years and years and years of experience to draw from. I bet if we challenged her to a Zumba competition you and I would win. Afterall, she would have to be careful not to fall or twist too hard because she might fracture a hip.

athena1277 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I didn't know there was a hs conference in N. VA! I don't know if I can make it or not. My dh would probably shoot me if i did - I would want to buy too much! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dh would probably shoot me if i did - I would want to buy too much! :D Here's my suggestion: Volunteer to help at the RFWP/MCT booth so your admission is free AND you get first crack at the used curric (if you are looking for any of that). :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) BRING IT ON! Christie was my idol when I was growing up. I thought she was the most awesome woman ever. If she is going to Zumba with us or man the RFWP booth I will find a way to get to NoVa. You got it!!

MariannNOVA Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thank you... you are a very kind penguin. Just stopping in between lax games -- off to Game #2 now. DD9.5 scored a goal :party: which was quite an improvement from last week when she was on defense and she sat down on the ground b/c the action was at the other goal :banghead:. Our team won 13-3! Have to run -- dd11 must be at the field at 4:30! And as far as you being misunderstood, I'm HERE for you! you're welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
