The 2008 KHSJA state convention is set for May 6-7 at the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center, 9700 Bluegrass Parkway, Jeffersontown, on Louisville's east side. This year we'll have several new breakout sessions and repeat some popular ones too. We'll have pre-convention activities on May 6 and a morning of breakout sessions from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, May 7. The convention concludes with our awards luncheon from noon to 1:30 p.m. This year's convention falls after CATS testing.

April 23 is the convention registration deadline. The registration fee is just $16 per student and $16 per chaperone, which includes the awards luncheon. Adviser registration is $25 per person, which includes the luncheon. If you plan to spend the night, you must make your own room reservations. Call (866) 246-2021 toll-free before 3 p.m. on April 6 -- when our room block is released to the public. Rooms are just $69.95 each, plus tax. Room rates after April 6 may be different, depending on availability.

Pre-convention activities are open to schools spending the night and to Louisville-area schools within driving distance. We expect another great Pizza With the Pros session. Afterwards, DJ Dave Smith will again keep students entertained during a student dance from 9-11 p.m. Pizza With the Pros and the dance are free but for planning purposes, we ask that you register for pre-convention activities on the enclosed convention registration form.

Our convention keynote speaker will be Jamie Gumbrecht, pop culture writer for the Lexington Herald-Leader. She has just returned from a six-week assignment in Iraq. Also, we tentatively plan a daytime panel with professional journalists, information on increasing your yearbook advertising revenue, how to design award-winning graphics, a roundtable on what various schools are doing, plus many more. Questions? Call me at (502) 223-8821 or e-mail via dgreer@kypress.com.

Sincerely,
David Greer
KHSJA administrator
