WLHCSS December Annual Conference -  (01/22/2011)

We would like to thank our participants and vendors for a successful Annual Conference this past December at the The Crowne Plaza in White Plains, NY.  Without your dedication, as well as the hard work from our social studies colleagues around the county, none of this would be possible.  Also a big thank you to our keynote speaker Da Chen!

Thank you again and we hope to see you at our next conference!
