 Post Conference Outreach By Jackie Freeman, CSAA Member, Author Meeting the CSAA members at the 23rd Annual Country School Conference at the University of Toledo in June was a delight. The event was rich with knowledge, and the networking opportunities were exceptional. Though we may only meet in person once or twice a year, the connections we make are invaluable and lasting. After attending workshops or conferences, I make a conscious effort to maintain these bonds. Here’s how I do it: SOCIAL MEDIA: Many of the contacts we make are active on Facebook and Instagram or have websites where we can connect, like, and comment. This not only encourages each other but also boosts our visibility and connectivity. EMAILS OR BLOGS: I keep a list of conference attendees’ email addresses next to my calendar and try to stay updated on events happening in their areas. Staying connected and supporting each other helps us learn more about our new friends. I have attached the latest newsletter from the Wooden Old Stone Schoolhouse to let you know what we have been up to. Let’s keep the spirit of the CSAA 23rd Annual Conference alive by staying in touch. I look forward to seeing everyone at the 24th Annual Country School Conference in Huntington, West Virginia. On behalf of the Wooden Old Stone Schoolhouse Association, I would like to thank you all for your comments and accolades during your bus tour. (Check out the Wooden Old Stone Schoolhouse newsletter attached, Facebook links. We celebrate our 175th Anniversary in 2025, so please stop by if you are in our area. We’d love to see you. Jackie Freeman is one of our newest members of CSAA. She serves as a docent for the Wooden Old Stone Schoolhouse, and as you can see from the photos, she enjoys sharing the history of the one-room schoolhouse just down the road from her farm. She enjoys writing, reading, gardening, pickleball, and spending time with her family. She is the author of eight books, and her next children's picture book is about a little girl who attended the Wooden Schoolhouse. You can learn more at her website: www.jackiefreemanauthor.com. Note: We appreciate member input to The Report Card and hope you will consider sending your own post of interest to our readers. Thanks to Jackie Freeman (in pink below) for her kind thoughts on the benefits of our annual conference. We totally agree and look forward to meeting again next year in West Virginia!
