We'll remember together important things Chris Davis shared. AND enjoy fellowship with homeschooling friends over FREE coffee/beverages!

You will love meeting Christy Duffy - the west Michigan homeschool Mom who recently appeared on Glenn Beck's show as well as Fox and Friends!  She'll be updating us on what has happened regarding some important parent's rights after all the publicity about her "I Am the Mom" blog post!

Be there when we announce our exciting keynotes for MWC 2015 (Reserve Saturday, February 21!) and we'll be giving away a MWC 2015 ticket or two! There will also be a table where you can choose to purchase your MWC 2015 tickets at our only discounted rate of the season.

Bring a friend, your spouse or your WHOLE support group and prepare to be refreshed and encouraged in your endeavors at home!  This evening is designed for parents who are veterans, newbies or just curious onlookers.  ALL interested parents are wanted and welcomed!  (No nursery available but nursing infants are welcomed.) Children and teens are not included in this evening.

Please RSVP to Val McDaniel at midwinterconference@gmail.com so that we have a clue how many are taking us up on this free offer!  Thanks so much!
