Hi ya’ll,
I’m “Convention Connie” (aka Connie Schor, Executive Assistant to Michael Dougherty), and I have an exciting announcement! My job has a new focus and it’s to make Convention easy and affordable for you!
First things first: SAVE THE DATE!
November 5-8, 2008 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Opening session will begin in early afternoon on Wednesday, November 5 – just after lunch.
This year’s Convention will be held at the BRAND NEW Raleigh Convention Center where we have secured a fabulous room rate available to you at the also new Marriott Hotel which is conveniently attached to the Convention Center (did I mention BRAND NEW?). Room rates are $109 for single and double occupancy rooms; $115 for triple and quad occupancy rooms! It’s not quite time to make your room reservations….the site will be open and running very soon, though!!!
I know you’re already thinking about your Fall schedules and this is why I wanted to give you information now! We want attending Convention to be of your PRIORITIES. And, I’m here and available to find CREATIVE and INEXPENSIVE ways to ensure you’re here in Raleigh this November. Put Convention on your calendar NOW and schedule your classes around the dates of November 5-8, 2008!
We’re all JAZZED about this year’s convention! Keep checking your email box and the Teachers Lounge where our Convention Speaker “lineup” and schedule will be posted soon. This is a NOT TO BE MISSED opportunity for you to meet and mingle with fellow Educators, Home Office Employee-Owners, and the opportunity to SOAK UP all sorts of musical knowledge!

WOW! I cannot wait to get all of the info on the KI Convention for 2008! I'll be one of the FIRST to sign up, as I will be "going back home" to Raleigh, after having lived there for almost 30 years before moving here to Greenwood,SC. It will be great to see friends & family who still live there, and especially to see all our Kindermusik "Family" there! I'd love to hear from other KM Educators from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area. Let's all plan to get together during the convention! I had to miss the Chicago KI convention, but will NOT MISS this one!
Kindermusikally Yours,

Woo hoo!! Thanks! What a fun idea!!
Hi ya'll...this is "Convention Connie"....and I'm absolutely THRILLED with all of the emails that I've received! It sounds like all of you are JAZZED about convention as well! Best of luck to you in the drawing....and keep those "cards & letters coming." I'm looking forward to seeing each and every ONE of you in Raleigh in November! :-)
I'm excited about the convention. I'm a recent KM educator, and had to miss the Chicago convention because I had just had my daughter. I'm hoping to make som connetions with some people that have the same dreams and aspirations as I do. I really hope to make it this year!

I attended the national convention for the first time in 2007, and I am incredibly anxious for the next convention!!! We have a staff of 7 teachers, and I am trying like crazy to get more of our teaching staff to attend this phenomenal event. I had a wonderful experience with all the teachers I found for roommates and friends, and anticipate reunions and new friendships in 2008. Looking forward to November 5-8!
