I hope you had a great weekend.
Hey, the WACA conference is almost here!. Remember, log on to wacaonline.org to get all of the conference registration information and forms (including hotel registration info).
There are still hotel spots available at the Red Lion
One of my disappointments this conference is that we have to cancel the Hanford Nuclear Reactor Tour (pre-conference session). There were not enough delegates signed up, so we didn’t meet their minimum group size. If you signed up for the tour, contact me, and I’ll discuss arrangements with you. Thanks.
One of my great joys of this conference is that Robert Fulghum is coming to speak to us after the banquet on Thursday. He will also have some of his books available for purchase. The local Barnes and Noble is handling the sale, and they are being incredibly helpful. They want me to pass on the following information.

Finally, I’d like to review/remind you about some of the area activities I got planned for us at the conference:
Have a wonderful week!

Barnes and Noble is handling the sale of his books.
- First, a percentage of the sales will come back to the WACA organization.
- Second, because the conference is an educator’s conference, the Barnes and Noble educator discount is immediately applied to all sales at the convention.
- Third, if you are not signed up for the educator discount at other times, they will sign you up at the conference, if you wish.
- Finally, if you wish to purchase Fulghum books with a school PO, Barnes and Noble is comfortable with the process. Wendy Lilly, the Communications Manager at the local Barnes and Noble says that all you need is the Barnes and Noble Institutional Account # (that your school has). If you’re not sure, check with your school. Or Wendy says that you can contact her ([email protected]), and she will be glad to check the number for you. (She rocks!!)
Finally, I’d like to review/remind you about some of the area activities I got planned for us at the conference:
- Chocolate Basket: If you would like to participate, bring a package of your favorite chocolate. We’ll put it in a basket, and give you a ticket. At the last area meeting, we’ll draw a winner!
- Movie Basket: Similarly, if you would like to participate, bring your favorite movie treat or movie (last year, I found Princess Bride on DVD at Walmart, and brought a copy to the conference). We’ll put it in a basket, and give you a ticket. At the last area meeting, we’ll draw a winner!
- AND! Bring a favorite school or event t shirt for an idea exchange/Tshirt Swap! Get a ton of T Shirt ideas, share that Fab T shirt and come home with a new one!
Have a wonderful week!
