Exhibitor Welcome Page ~ Anchorage ~ Fairbanks ~ Juneau ~ Soldotna

We have arranged for homeschoolers in each location to stuff bags in order to raise funds for homeschooling activities. Here are some things to keep in mind about materials for the stuff sacks.

• Weight - It is a problem if the bags get too heavy, so ONLY catalogs or flyers that weigh less than two ounces each may be sent to be included in these sacks. If you want to send catalogs that weigh more than two ounces, you must purchase 1/4 or 1/2 tables for display.
• Number - We do not prepare enough bags for every attendee. Occassionally attendees are not anxious to carry bags throughout the events. Many plan to pick the sacks up at the door as they leave, and then do not. Also homeschoolers tend to pick up just one bag per family.
• Note to vendors for activities/instruction - No vendor flyer may claim that the vendor is "approved by IDEA." They may state that they are willing to bill IDEA directly if that is the case. (Billing can take place only after the lessons are completed and verified by IDEA.) First time advertising in hand-out sacks and have questions? Contact the local organizer listed below.
• Payment - Indicate payment on the Registration Form and send to Fairbanks. Alternatively, you may include payment in the box with the materials, if that is more convenient. If you put it in the box, please just include the payment for that location, using multiple checks for shipping to multiple addresses.
• Shipping - Please send your flyers to the offices below so that they arrive by April 1st. You may need to ship your items parcel post to save on freight.  Below are listed the IDEA locations, amount of flyers and the needed fee. Don't forget to specify "Hand-Out Sacks" on your shipment. Thank you for helping us to provide this service!

Door prizes - Door prizes can be sent to the same addresses, marking those boxes "Doorprizes" instead of "Hand-out sacks." You can send both in the same box, if you like; just mark it "Hand-out sacks and doorprizes," please.
