Dear Potential Exhibitor:
MHEA is now planning for our 22nd annual conference and curriculum fair. The dates are June 20-21, 2008. This year we are excited about many changes. The most exciting is that our conference and curriculum fair will be held at the Agricenter in Memphis, Tennessee. It is a wonderful location and has lots and lots of space. All our exhibitors will be together in one huge room. The booth spaces will have pipe and drape, as well as skirted tablecloths. We are expecting a great turn out and a lot of fun.
When you register for our conference and curriculum fair we will add a link to your company’s website on MHEA’s website. This is great advertisement and will let people know in advance which exhibitors will be there.
Come and join us for an exciting conference and curriculum fair as MHEA continues to minister to the home school community in the Memphis area. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
In Christ,
Judy Pierce
Conference Director
