Vendor Information:

Dear Friends,

Plans are underway for the 2010 Catholic Homeschool Conference, which is coming up soon! The Conference will be held on Friday and Saturday, March 26-27, 2010 at the Cardinal Rigali Center, 20 Archbishop May Dr., St. Louis, Mo 63119.

We are excited to announce our featured speaker this year will be Maureen Wittman, author of For The Love of Literature, distributed by Ecce Home Press; contributor to Mater et Magistra; and co-founder of Homeschool Connections, a new online program providing a variety of high school courses. With attendance expected to top 300 this year, we hope you will consider bringing your fine products and exhibiting in our vendor hall.

Due to the popularity of the Friday evening vending hours, we will again open the Vendor Hall on Friday evening, March 26, from 6-9 pm (set-up time will be from 11am - 5:30pm -- please keep this in mind when buying tables!). Friday night will include programming geared towards teens this year.

Vendor Hall will open at 9 am Saturday, March 27, allowing vendors the opportunity to participate in the 8 am Opening Mass (Set-up time available from 7 -8:30am for vendors not selling Friday evening). The Vendor Hall closes at 4:30pm, but pack-up time is extended until 7 pm. Complimentary box lunches are provided to vendors, but the number is limited to the lesser of tables purchased or staff.

Electricity access is quite limited at the Rigali Center and will be available on a first registered, first served basis. Registration is not complete until payment is made. In addition, vendors will be limited to four tables, although 2009 vendors are grandfathered, and may reserve tables up to last year’s level.

You may participate in any combination of three ways:

Reserve table space to display and sell your materials at the cost of $72 per 8 ft. table (by Feb. 120th, 2010). We are still able to hold the cost to 2008 levels!
Provide promotional materials to be placed in our conference packets, at no charge.
Provide attendance prizes to be awarded throughout the evening/day at the conference.

All promotional materials and/or attendance prizes for conference bags must be received no later than March 16, 2010. Promotional materials can be shipped to:

Mrs. Kathy Harkins
709 Robinson Ave,
Webster Groves, MO 63119

In order to simplify and expedite the process, all registration will be done online at the link provided below. Please fill out the online registration form and submit. Once we verify space, you will receive a confirmation notice and payment instructions. Once attendance is verified and payment is received, your name will be added to our conference vendor list on the website and included in our conference packets. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you this year!

Sincerely in Christ,

Debbie Kopff
