We want to thank those of you that have stood by us during the past difficult years!

Our goal is to minister to Missouri homeschoolers but as you know people all over the country and world will be able to attend and take advantage of this opportunity. We have been in contact with Italy, Germany and Korea to name a few countries. Each vendor will pay a small fee of $15 for a booth area. You may advertise specials that you want to offer, a way to contact you, links to your web site, and anything else that you think would be of interest. At our website you can see our setup to help give you ideas for your booth. We will have a speakers' block so that our people can hear encouraging workshops just like they would in a regular convention. Your $15 covers a year of advertisement and you may send us updates for your booth throughout the year. We will only accept updates from the contact person listed on the application form unless otherwise told. If you have something that you would like updated on a regular basis (such as monthly or weekly specials), we would recommend that you give us a link to a page on your website which you will keep up to date, if this is possible.

The majority of our convention is open to the public at no charge, including the entire vendor block, in order to give you the widest possible coverage for the money you spend. The complete workshops are available free of charge to members of MATCH and at a small charge to those who are not residents of Missouri.

If you would like to participate in this great event please fill out the forms by clicking on the links below. You may either email us the information or mail it along with the $15. If you would like to pay by Paypal you may do so. We are working on several other improvements over last year's convention. If you have any suggestion, please let us know. If you would like to take part in our annual online convention as a speaker, please send us a CD,tape or podcasts (CD or podcasts the best way) with your permission to put it online. We would also like to have a picture, bio and a summary of the workshop. In exchange for the workshops and keynotes we will give you FREE booth in the convention hall.

We have our annual event that will be held October 4-5, 2008, at the Silver Dollar City Homeschool Day. We like to hand out little things to the children as they come in for the big day. You may have your name on it and choose whatever type of object for us to put in their bags. We want this to not only be something for the kids but a way for you to be able to advertise, too. We need all the items to be in by the first of September.

Need or want some material reviewed? We will review them and publish them in our newsletter, on our members only website and rotate them from time to time through the online convention. Those that become partners or speakers with us will have their reviews put with their information for the year on the online convention.

Please take a few minutes to look over other opportunities that we have for vendors below. We are really excited about this coming year!

We look forward to hearing from you soon. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at 417-257-0030 or by email.

God bless you,

Michael & Orilla Crider, Directors
