INHOME CONFERENCE SPECIAL NOTES

1) If your children are at all interested in being in the science fair at the InHome Conference on March 11 at 8:30 a.m., please contact Jill at 630-585-4635 (conference phone number - leave a message) as soon as possible. If we do not get more interest, it will be cancelled for this year.  We'd hate to disappoint the children who have expressed interest and are already working on their projects!

Thank you!

Sheri Blome

 2)   NIHN Editor Barbara Frank will present two workshops at the InHome Conference this year. "Ten Things You Can Do Right Now to Prepare Your Children for the New Economic Reality" is an adult workshop that will be offered on Friday, March 10 from 2 pm to 3:15 pm, and "Aiming for Financial Freedom" is a teen workshop scheduled for Saturday, March 11 from 10:45 am to noon.

 3) The InHome convention offers a vendor hall that is open to the public…that's right, you do not have to be registered for the conference to enter the vendor hall!  :)
