Please help spread the word about the oldest homeschooling
conference in Maryland (since 1980, secular and unschooling friendly
to boot. John Holt was the key note speaker at one of the first of
these conferences!).

Be sure to check out the MHEA conference at Anne Arundel Community
College (located midway between Baltimore and Annapolis) on April 3,
2004 from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. The keynote speaker is Daniel Pink,
author of "Free Agent Nation" (http://www.fun-
books.com/books/8791.htm). Mr Pink makes a strong argument for
homeschooling being an excellent preparation for the changing
workforce.

In addition to the keynote speech, there will be lots of workshops
for new homeschoolers as well as veteran homeschoolers. There will
be a talent show, a panel of homeschool graduates speaking about
their experiences in the real world of college, work and the
military and much more! Lunch will be available on the premises.

Also, there will be a Local Support Group fair with representatives
invited from every support group in Maryland, a Resource Fair with a
wide variety of vendors offering homeschooling materials (FUN Books,
www.FUN-Books.com, will be there with lots of great materials - you
can order in advance and pick up at the conference to save shipping
and ensure the items you want will be available, or you can request
specific items you want brought for you to see), and there will be a
used curriculum sale/swap/give-away fair.
