The Annual Conference is our biggest event of the year. We bring in nationally-known speakers, present interesting and informative workshops, and fill the hall with vendors that always seem to have what you’re looking for!
Countdown!
The 2009 MHA Annual Conference is fast approaching. We have a wonderful conference in the works, so mark your calendar now for Saturday, September 26, 2009 at the New Brighton Family Service Center. It’s conveniently located near the junction of I-35W and I-694 (click here for printer-friendly directions). It is also the home of the Eagle’s Nest Indoor Playground, which can be helpful if you wish to plan activities for your children.
Join us for a day of exciting workshops and resources designed to meet the needs of homeschoolers. The all-day Conference offers something for everyone - “getting started” workshops, panel sessions, exhibitor displays and yes, even more than we can list here!
Our keynote speaker, Diane Flynn Keith, will grace us with her humor and insight. Diane produces Homefires.com, an online journal and resource center for homeschool families. She is the author of Carschooling: Over 350 Entertaining Games & Activities To Turn Travel Time Into Learning Time. She is also the publisher of ClickSchooling - a free daily e-service that provides recommendations for great educational websites on the Net. And after all this, she still finds time to Twitter!
