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.

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
