Read below for a very cool opportunity to help with Invention Convention in Cincinnati! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hegedus, Erica <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2015 at 2:06 PM Subject: Fwd: Volunteer letter for Southwest regional Invention Convention Cincinnati To: Molly Kelly-Elliott <[log in to unmask]> Cc: [log in to unmask] Hello! I was recently made aware of an amazing volunteer opportunity and was hoping you would help get the word out! Invention Convention is an opportunity for students to submit and present inventions they have come up with themselves. "Invention Convention envisions a day when EVERY child in Ohio has the chance to follow their natural curiosity, invent creative solutions to problems, and be inspired to achieve their highest level of personal accomplishment. Through these efforts, Ohio’s future will be brighter and its workforce more capable and productive." For more information: http://inventionconvention.org On April 11th, the convention will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are in need of people to help with Judging (anyone can help with this) as well as helping throughout the day with activities. We appreciate any help they can give! Please let me know if you need anything else, Erica Hegedus Special Education 2015 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Abby Fisher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 11:22 AM Subject: Volunteer letter for Southwest regional Invention Convention Cincinnati To: [log in to unmask] Erica, thanks for passing this on for us!
