Past Events
Why bother, you ask, to keep a listing of past events? This
list may be of use to those who need to contact event organizers.
For example: vendors who may want to show their wares at homeschool
conferences and conventions, homeschool families who want to
anticipate when the next year's conference may be, webmasters
who are searching for links to update their own calendars for
the following year. Links here either contain outdated information,
or the page could be updated with newer events. Upcoming events
are always listed on each region's
own page and on the Calendar of Events.
