Hello everyone!
I hope this email finds you all well and that your first week back from vacation went off without a hitch! I just returned from the WACA Board Meeting today! What a great group of people! We are very excited to present our annual conference, Ordinary Heroes, to you very soon. Here are some important pieces of information for you:
Greetings WACA Area 8 Members! 1. Our conference will be held at the Yakima Convention Center March 11th-13th, 2015. Registration is open on www.wacaonline.org. The online registration is very easy. All you do is point, click, and type. Then fax your PO to the number listed! So simple it will only take you five minutes! The conference hotels are the Holiday Inn and the Red Lion. The Holiday Inn is nearly halfway full and the Red Lion still has many reservations. 2. We are looking for conference presenters and I know that many of you have a ton of great ideas to share with others. If you have a great lesson or activity, please consider sharing it with the delegates. It can be an activity your school plans and puts on, an assembly idea, lesson, etc. This can be a short (10 min) Meet the Pros session or a longer breakout session (50 minutes). Please consider presenting. I know I learn so much from all of you. If you are interested, please click on the link at www.wacaonline.org.
3. Since we have a "hero" theme this year, we would like to invite you all to wear your Superhero Swag on Thursday, March 12th. As always, this is optional, but if you'd like to play, we'd love to play with you!
4. Plan on wearing your school spirit gear on Friday.
5. As has been the tradition in our Area Meetings, we will do a chocolate basket and movie basket giveaway. If you would like to participate, bring your favorite chocolate for the chocolate basket and your favorite movie or movie snack for the movie basket. I'd also like to start a new giveaway this year, as I know many of you are coffee drinkers. So, if you'd also like to bring your favorite mug, coffee, gift card, etc., please feel free.
6. Because we live in Eastern Washington, we are known for our copious amounts of amazing adult beverage facilities. :) In the past, we have done an exchange of our favorite bottles. If you would like to participate, simply bring along a bottle and you will leave with a bottle. So simple and fun!
I hope you are all excited for the conference! It is coming quickly. Be sure to get your registrations in soon!
Have a wonderful week!
