Hi y'all,
Our family just wanted to thank all of you who attended this year's Kentucky Home School Conference and Book Fair.
We had the largest Conference we have ever had and many families were so blessed by the speakers, vendors, used books sellers etc.
William Estrada spoke from HSLDA (Key Note Speaker) twice and were told they received more memberships at our Conference than a large state Convention! Praise the L-rd! We were able to give a family free membership to HSLDA with some of the donation money to a family in need.
We also were blessed by the speakers for Debora McGregor of Garden Patch of Reproducibles, With a Heart for Israel Ministry (Rev. Vicki Welch), and Great Source Books for speaking to us and enlightening our home school teachings!!
We also were priviledged to have Representatives from Usborne Books, Consignment Books, Making it Home Magazine, Helping Hand Adoption Agency etc, etc.
Many displays from various authors were sent to us such as Heart of Wisdom, First Fruits of Zion, Master Books, Vision Forum, Focus on the Family, Speedy Spanish, Hope Chest books, Charlesbridge, Mott Media, The Old School House Magazine(of course!),Keeprs of the Faith, Great Expectations, the Andreola's brand new book and Charlotte Mason Research and Supply,Catherine Levison, Penny Gardner, Jim Weiss Recorded books,Greek N Stuff, Diana Waring, Spelling Power,Valerie Bendt, Heart of Dakota, Flash Master, Firefly Books, God's Design Science,Patch the Pirate,Quarter Mile Math, Nature Magazine, The Jewish Publications, Hexabits, JAX Games,Profruck Press,Veritas Press etc.Wow!! What great books we could hold in our hands and drool over, see their catalogs and order from!!!
We gave away tons of door prizes given to us from various authors and publishers as well as a Silent Auction to help support HSLDA's costs and to cover our costs of the Conference for supplies, etc.
Our band, Katuv, introduced each speaker with a song from both of our 2 CD's "DANIEL'S VISION "and "SILENT SCREAMS," in which our home schooling son and my husband/writer/musician (Dave Wirth) also played instruments from around the world giving a Christian/Messianic message.
There were families who drove from 3 states- KY, Tenn and Indiana and people came from the cities of Harrodsburg, Wilmore, Lex, Nicholasville, Danville, Salvisa, Lancaster, Stanford, Glascoe, Liberty, Frankfort, Richmond, and some I have forgotten already and never heard of.
God was lifted up and He was glorified!!!
Many, many thanks to all the volunteers who worked longggg hours and were exhausted. We were short volunteers tremendously, so we all worked over time for you.
We were blessed again to able to creat a FREE Conference so that all could attend.
We are still recouping!!!
Thanks again for your support out there to who all came, participated, donated and especially volunteered!!
In His undeserving love and grace, Charlene Kay Wirth |
