April News Update from Three Sisters

www.homelearningresources.com

Conference News:

Online and mail-in registrations will be accepted until April 17, 2009. Walk-in

registrations will be accepted the day of the conference. Our website has details. Your attendance makes future conferences and retail sales events more likely.

Our speakers will help you no matter “who you are” or “where you are” in your home school journey. Parents who are beginners, experienced, worn-out, or full of ideas will take some nuggets of knowledge home from our speakers. Our website has descriptions of the workshops and keynote speeches.

We will have a fellowship area in the vendor hall for those who wish to “eat in” for lunch.

HLR Sale News:

Three Sisters has eleven vendors coming to the Sale. This is a ‘homeschool store’ – come and shop from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Well-behaved children are welcome in the vendor hall. Free admission to the vendor hall.

Fair World Gallery and World of Difference Day have signed as vendors. Both are local Iowa businesses. Fair World Gallery has hard-to-find learning materials that can immerse your family in another country. Your support group can also book a visit with someone who has lived in a foreign country and can share music, culture, and customs through World of Difference. One representative will give a vendor presentation for both companies. http://www.fairworldgallery.com/catalog/index.php and
