Flat Stanley now has a name badge and is an official attendee of the 2013 ICHE State Convention!

 He will be interviewing various speakers, talking to the vendors, participating in the workshops, meeting people and making some friends!

Faith Hemmer says, "The first three people to come to the Guest Welcome Center will win a copy of Visionary Parenting: Encouragement for Single Parents video series by Dr. Rob Rienow."
