Information:

I have been asked by many of you for a conference that is devoted to having Christian speakers, thus this conference has been ‘born’. For this one, I am the conference planner, I am not starting a new organization. If that is something that GOD has for this ministry, HE will work out those details. 

I will do a facebook page to keep the lines of communication open, and Event brite page so you can register.

PRE-CONFERENCE: 

This will be on Monday of the conference (all day)–and the morning of Tuesday.  

All money for this pre-conference, minus expenses, will be donated to help cover expenses for the conference.

Beginning on Tuesday after lunch, the actual conference will begin.

CONFERENCE:

It will begin on Tuesday after noon.  It will go until Friday at noon.

CEUs:
CEU's from MEAC are on the class list.  ACNM are still pending.  We were understanding that we would have heard from them the beginning of August, but they said it they may not know until the week before the conference.  We will let you know when we know!

MORE INFORMATION:

If you are staying at the hotel, they offer a breakfast for their guests.  The usual stuff: cereal, rolls/danish (with frosting), eggs, milk, juice, yogurt, toast, coffee and tea.

Lunches: Provided as follows:
Attending the full conference-lunch will be provided on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Attending the Pre-Conference only, (Monday all day and Tuesday until noon)- lunch will be provided on Monday ONLY
Attending the Conference only (Tuesday afternoon until Friday noon)- Lunch will be provided on Wednesday and Thursday ONLY.

NOTE: Noon meals as listed above, will be provided for those who have signed and paid up by the Friday before the conference.  We welcome walk ins, but not not guarantee that the noon meals will be available. They do need to be ordered ahead of time. Prices do not change, regardless of meals availability. 

Dinners are on your own.  There is a  small frig in each room and microwave so you can do evening meals in your room to save money if you want to.

Restaurants in the area are as follows: 

Lots of fast food places, but you would have to drive for about 10 minutes or so for a nicer walk in style restaurant.  If you get on the toll road, and drive east to exit 92 (a ten minute drive) there is a Texas Road house, Olive Garden, red lobster, Apple bees, Cracker barrel and several others. In walking distance: Dunkin Donuts, Jimmy Johns, Little Caesars, Star Bucks, Steak and shake, Fazolies, Subway, and Arbys.

Others are Pancake house, Taco Bell-a longer walk, but not too far away.

BUSINESSES in the area that you might need: Fed Ex office is in walking distance.

NOTE: This is NOT a CMI conference.  I want to make something clear about this conference. Although I have Taught at the conferences, worked on those conferences, and served for several years on the board of CMI, this is NOT a CMI event. I stepped down from the board due to personal issues, one being my health at that time of my life. I needed ‘me’ time and had to clear my commitments to the many organizations and work I was involved in.   I love Brandi dearly and consider her to be a dear friend, and colleague. I would work with her again on CMI if the opportunity presents itself in the future.
