FYI - 900 lunches ordered sounds like a lot of people

Paying it forward:


Friends,

This is your last reminder (yeah!) that SPARC 2007 is only three days away!!! If you are one of the many who pre-registered, we’ll see you shortly before 8:00am.

For those who waited and procrastinated, we’ll see you bright and early at 7:00am! Registration doors will open at 7:00am….. you may still register the day of the conference. There will be plenty of room to attend the conference, but there may not be conference bags, shirts or lunches. The day of registration form is on the website, so you can print the form, and bring it with you to save yourself some time. www.standadvocates.org

We ordered a total of 900 lunches from Capogna’s Dugout of Clearwater! (Spaghetti w/meat sauce (or butter sauce), salad & dressing, bread and a drink.)

Pre-registrants are guaranteed their bag, shirt, and lunch. The day of registrants will be on a first come – first serve basis until they are gone.

Dr. Barbara Bateman, Educator-Advocate-Author will begin her Keynote address promptly at 8:00am. Followed by Mrs. MaryEllen Elia, Hillsborough County Superintendent. The first breakout session will begin promptly at 9:00am!!!

There will be plenty of time to visit the over 150 exhibitors, sign up for a 15 minute IEP Review, and network among friends and new friends. The IEP Review sign up sheets will be at the STAND display and in the cafeteria available beginning at 7:45am…. Don’t forget to sign up early as there are only 64 spaces available.

We will have Wrightslaw books on sale for $25.00 each….. and Barbara Bateman’s three books on sale for $30.00 each. STAND Bracelets will be available at the price of 2 for $5.00. All of these can be found at the STAND display/exhibit.

There will be plenty of parking. Attendees will park across the street in the Pinellas Park High School Parking lot. There will be a Pinellas Park Police officer on duty to assure your safety crossing the street. Volunteers park on the West side of the school, and Exhibitors and Presenters on the East side of the school.

Remember to leave the kids at home today, come and enjoy a day of fun, learning, networking and winning one of the MANY door prizes we have to offer.

See you Saturday!!!
