For the first time, we are holding a contest to select speakers for break-out 
sessions. We are looking for presenters who are willing to share some of their 
fantastic program ideas with others attending the conference. Focus for the 
programs should be for children in grades K - 4. A panel of three will judge the 
entries, and there will be 3 presenters selected. Winners will receive FREE 
CONFERENCE registration for the two-day event, and a paid hotel room for 
Thursday night. The only cost to the winner will be travel costs to Sandusky, 
Ohio. Deadline to enter the contest is March 27. (FIRM!)
