Vendor and LIFE Fest Bazaar booths must be reserved by August 21. More information will be available at Learning is for Everyone at http://www.learningis4everyone.org/content/view/2961/41/1/4/ shortly, but feel free to write and let us know if you’d like vending, community group, or support group space.
Also contact us if you’re interested in hosting a presentation or workshop.
Planners Drawing
As before, we’re inviting our guests to help plan the party by holding a Planners Drawing in which those who send us LIFE Fest ideas by May 31 are automatically entered to win a great prize (last year it was tickets to the Edison-Ford Estates).
So send your ideas now to info@learningis4everyone.org with “LIFE Fest Ideas” in the subject line. Be sure to include your full name, address and contact info and you'll be automatically entered in a special LIFE Fest Planner award drawing at LIFE Fest 2009. You have to be present to win -- but you're helping plan so why wouldn't you be?!
See you at LIFE Fest 2009!
