Make plans now to be in Kearney the first weekend in October 2009. Next year's convention is tentatively scheduled. While the schedule is yet to be completely finalized, there are some highlights we think everyone will enjoy.
One highlight will be Nebraska author Don Welch. He will be featured as a late morning keynote speaker on Friday. We'll follow his presentation with Poetry Out Loud during the awards banquet. Friday will conclude with the President's Reception after an evening meal and entertainment.
Saturday's schedule kicks of with posterboard presentations covering all of the NSAA speech events, all of the debate events in Nebraska, and theatre presentations covering a range of topics.
A block of rooms have been reserved at the Ramada Inn. The rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the $75 group rate. For a peek at the tentative schedule, click on Read More below.
