KEYNOTE SPEAKER

TUESDAY NIGHT BANQUET 6:00 pm “WHAT’S A PARENT TO DO?” Patty LaRoche is a wife of one, and step-mother, grandmother of 7. She is retired high school teacher and is a writer, Christian speaker and has recently become involved in the fight against sex-trafficking at the church she attends while living in Florida. Following the birth of your first–born, no one hands you an instruction manual on how to parent, even though most experts claim there is no job more difficult. A cultural shift as many parents have stopped demonstrating a model of moral authority. The pendulum has swung so far toward the side of the children’s rights that they now dictate how the home is run. It’s time for parent to grow up and find a balance between ruling with an iron fist and no ruling at all. WEDNESDAY 9:00-9:45 am “HISTORY ON A PIECE OF CLOTH, KANSAS FLOUR SACKS”, Nancy Leachman has a fascinating collection of over 200 Kansas flour sacks that are used as a vehicle to learn Kansas history. The collection is predominantly from the 1920s through 1940s. These are not the calico fabric sack, but are printed with the name, location and logo of the mill. They are mini-billboards of their time, expressing political views, and advertising trends, marketing schemes, culture theme, nutrition advancement and more. 10:00-10:45 am “LIFE IN A JAR”, Megan Felt will share how Irene Sendlier, the mother of the Holocaust, became an Unsung Hero when she rescued children in Poland in WWII.
