Teachers enjoying the Civil Air Patrol session.

We hope everyone enjoyed our AAGC conference!  It was wonderful to see old friends and get to make new ones.   This conference could not have taken place without the many volunteers.  Thanks to the those who came early to set up and register members, the teachers who lead the great sessions, and the vendors who helped make this conference a success.

Next year, we will not have an AAGC conference but will instead attend the NAGC conference held in Atlanta.   This is a great opportunity for us to attend a national conference much closer to home.  Watch this site for more information.  The Georgia organizers will need many volunteers.
