Just a reminder that the Maryland Home Education Association will hold its
annual Conference, Resource and Services Fair on Saturday, April 30 at Anne
Arundel Community College (about midway between Baltimore and Annapolis)

John Taylor Gatto will be the Keynote Speaker and his topic will be "The
Artificial Extension of Childhood." He will also present a workshop entitled
"The Curriculum of Power."

In addition, there will be many workshops and speaker sessions covering
topics such as: The Unschooling Philosophy, Foundations of Unschooling,
Ready for Algebra?, Pay College Without Going Broke, Matching Learning Style
with Method, Curing Learning Disabilities, and many more. There will be lots
of activities and workshops for teens including: Learn to Swing Dance,
Preparing for the New SAT and Researching Your Bliss.

There will be a Resource Fair featuring vendors offering a unique selection
of many supplies and services not typically found at "Curriculum" fairs.
Representatives from all Maryland support groups have also been invited to
the Support Groups Fair to provide information about their groups and help
attendees find a support group in their area.

For more information, go to: http://www.mhea.com/conference.htm

Please note that the schedule has changed and John Taylor Gatto's Keynote
address will be at 9:00 am and his general session workshop will be at
10:00.

FUN Books will be at the conference with lots of special discounted "scratch
and dent" items, discontinued items and our regular selection of great
resources for homeschooling and unschooling. Remember, we can't bring all
the items in our catalog, so to be sure that we bring the items you want, we
strongly encourage you to pre-order from our web site and put a note in the
"comments" section that you will pick up your order at the conference. That
way you won't have to pay shipping, you'll be sure we bring the items you
want, and you won't have to worry about someone else buying our last copy of
an item you wanted! You can also use the comments section to list items you
are not sure you want to purchase yet and would like to see at the
conference before making a decision. Visit www.FUN-Books.com to place your
order soon!

Please feel free to distribute this message to anyone you feel may be able
to benefit from this conference.

Thanks,

Billy
