MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS!
It's official. The Live and Learn Unschooling Conference location for 2005
has been changed to St. Louis, Missouri.
It's very centrally located, and St. Louis is a gorgeous city with lots to
do and see. I hope many of you will make a vacation out of this and spend some
extra time in the Midwest.
St. Louis is five hours from Chicago, Kansas City, Nashville, and
Memphis----LOTS to see! St. Louis itself is home to the Cardinals, Budweiser Brewery,
The Bowling Hall of Fame, Grant's Farm, a lovely free zoo, a children's
museum, a great science museum, Laclede's Landing, Riverboat gambling, and of
course, the beautiful Arch (with its Lewis & Clark Museum underneath). It's a
short drive to Hannibal, MO, childhood home of Mark Twain, and Cahokia Mounds, a
Mississippian settlement that disappeared (and totally peaceful---I love to
walk around and drink up the quiet energy).
The conference will be October 6th-9th. I was petitioned by a large group of
attendees to extend the conference to five days, but we compromised with
four---so we'll be starting on Thursday this year. We have some exciting new
speakers as well as our popular standards, Sandra and Anne. <g>
The website should be up before the end of the year. I'll point you in that
direction as soon as it's up and operational.
The hotel contract should be signed by the end of this week: I'll get that
out to you the day it happens, so that you can make your reservations as soon
as possible. If I were to give it out now, y'all would bombard them, and they
might not have us in the system yet---so please be patient! <g> But we got a
super room rate with several huge ballrooms, a great lay-out, and an indoor
pool! There's an hotel restaurant and several within walking distance or a
VERY short drive.
I have lots of great volunteers already, but if you have a talent you'd like
to share, please let me know.
I'm looking forward to hosting the conference again---and VERY much looking
forward to seeing you all in October!
