Dear Colleague,
eSchool News is pleased to announce that due to
the sell-out status and high praise earned by our
GRANTS & FUNDING FOR SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY
conference held last April in San Diego, Calif., a
THIRD conference is scheduled January 27-28, 2000, in
New Orleans, LA at the Hotel Inter-Continental.
This critically-acclaimed, 2-day event is a
hands-on, how-to professional development
conference that brings you together with corporate,
foundations, and federal/state grant GIVERS to
deliver your grants-and-funding team all the tools
necessary to find and secure big dollars for your
technology programs. This event is proudly sponsored by
eSCHOOL NEWS.
Please feel free to forward this information to
your colleagues and friends.
