Area 9… Are you ready for the 2015 WACA Conference???
Hi there - this is the first of a few emails I'll be sending before the annual conference. I have lots of information to share, so please read this when you have time to sift through all of it.
As always, please forward to anyone who might benefit from this.
Mark your calendars...March 11th, 12th and 13th...at the Yakima Convention Center. Our theme this year is Ordinary Heroes! Bust out your super hero capes and masks. Put on your super powered bracelets. Grab your Wonder Twin and activate...Registration is open now on our website, www.wacaonline.org. REGISTER TODAY! The online process is easy. Point, click and type. Then fax your PO to the number listed! So simple it will only take you five minutes! We are hoping to have a record breaking number of people from Area 9.
Some important information for you...
1. We want to steal your ideas! COME PRESENT! Sign up to be a conference presenter and share your ideas with others. You might think that it’s easy and everyone does it…but you’d be wrong! We need you to present. Favorite lessons or activities. Successful projects in your school. Cool assembly ideas. You can sign up for a short Meet the Pros session (10 min) or a longer Breakout Session (50 min). You can sign up to present on our website at www.wacaonline.org, or let me know and I will sign you up!
2. This year's conference hotels are the Holiday Inn and the Red Lion. The Holiday in is filling up and there is plenty of space at the Red Lion. Information on lodging is also on our website.
3. Since we have a "hero" theme this year, we would like to invite you all to wear your Superhero Swag (capes, etc.) on Thursday, March 12th. As always, this is optional, but if you'd like to play, we'd love to play with you!
4. On Friday, March 13th, plan to wear YOUR SCHOOL SPIRIT gear!
5. As usual, we will have a bit of fun at our area meetings. We are mixing it up this year…adding a favorite beverage basket. We will do a chocolate basket and a favorite drink basket giveaway. If you would like to participate, bring your favorite chocolate for the chocolate basket and your favorite drink item for the favorite drink basket. This could be a favorite mug, coffee, gift card, "liquid item", etc. Of course, these are optional, but the more who play, the more fun it is! If you forget…BONUS…Target is right around the corner from the convention center. =0)
6. Last thing about the conference: Don’t forget that there is a resource table. We stock books that you often request, as well as a few other activity related items. If you have a suggestion of a title that you think we should offer, let me know right away and I'll see if we can get it ordered.
As we wind down the first semester, I am always looking forward to March and the WACA Conference. The positive energy, awesome ideas and incredible people inspire and rejuvenate me!
I look forward to seeing all of you in March! Please let me know if you have questions...

Make it a great day!
