2012 Expo
THANK YOU!
Dear Homeschoolers,
The Expo board would like to thank you for coming to the 2012 Greater St. Louis Area Home Educators Expo. We hope you enjoyed yourself and were encouraged both emotionally and spiritually. Plans are already underway for next year's Expo on April 11-13, 2013. Here’s a few things that we would like you to know:
1. We want to apologize for no lights on the parking lot Thursday evening. We realize how scary it was to try and find your car in the dark, especially for those moms who had small children with them. There was some kind of power outage that day and we had no way of knowing that it would affect the parking lot that night. We are so sorry!
By the way, the following are winners of the Evaluation Form Drawing...your gift will soon be in the mail:
Ann Albrecht
Angelica Dames
Deborah Doyle
Deanna Fisher
Scott Gunter
Jen Kocher
Molly Nesham
Grace Ross
Kathy Side
Jan Wickersheim
2. Many speakers posted their handouts on the website prior to the Expo and, after the Expo, we have had even more speakers send us handouts to post. Click on Speakers Bar at the left and a pop-up will appear that says "2012 Seminar Handouts". This list has links in it that directly take you to each speaker’s handouts. If you can’t find it, it is listed under “Speakers”.
3. If you forgot to get a CD or decided to get some other ones, you can still do it by going to the Rhino website and ordering straight from there. They haven’t yet posted the Expo CD’s. Sometimes it takes a week or two. See bar on left that says: "Expo Seminars on CD" or go to http://www.rhino-technologies.com/
4. Many items were "found" at the Expo. If one of them belongs to you, please email Cathy Mullins at Ekcjmullins@gmail.comand she will contact you to see how it can be returned. See list below.
Again, thanks for coming to the Expo! Pray for us as we take in your suggestions and begin planning next year’s Expo!
The Expo Board
Marianne and Patrick Brookman
Cathy and Ed Mullins

Linda Lacour Hobar With 16 years of homeschooling three children, 17 years of ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ, and a sense of God's calling on her life, Linda brings enthusiasm, experience, inspiration, and some fun to the pages of history. She feels the Lord gave her first the title of the book, The Mystery of History, and then the drive and passion to write it. The title reveals her heart, which is that the "mystery" of the Gospel of Jesus Christ would be made known, better understood, and more deeply appreciated through the knowledge of God's hand in world history. A native-born Texan, Linda holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University and lives with her family in Memphis, Tennessee. Whenever she can escape from the computer, Linda enjoys people of all ages, great music, healthy cooking, and getting outdoors for hiking, biking, and kayaking Check out more on Linda Lacour Hobar here. |
