2010 State Conference To Be Held in Scranton
 * PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION OF STUDENT COUNCIL (PASC)**

" The PASC District 9 schools are thrilled to be hosting the 2010 PASC State Conference in Scranton, October 7–9, 2010. Our conference theme is "Enlighten Student Councils…Shock Your School" and we plan to do just that! The 2010 PASC State Conference will electrify student leaders to inspire their student body and build connections within the school and community through a shocking experience. Our conference will bring about a unique and exciting experience for students because there is not just one school that is hosting our conference. District 9 schools including Mountain View, North Pocono, Old Forge, Pocono Mountain West, and Mid Valley have joined forces to make the 2010 conference a shocking experience for all! The conference is being held at the beautiful University of Scranton and Old Forge Educational Complex. Our conference theme "Enlighten Student Councils…Shock Your School" is a reflection of Scranton, as it is known as "The Electric City." Scranton is located in Northeastern Pennsylvania and is featured in the television show "The Office." Keynote speakers for the conference include Alvin Law, an incredible speaker who was born with no arms, who teaches us how to turn life’s challenges into positive situations; and Bobby Petrocelli, who shares with us how a 10-second decision can change your life forever. Additional conference highlights include large group workshop sessions, student led workshops, advisor roundtable idea exchanges, the Hall of Ideas, and a Friday night black light dance and fabulous banquet to be held at Genetti’s Manor. Our conference is also unique in that students will not be housed by host families. Students will be housed in hotels and transported to the University of Scranton and Old Forge Educational Complex.

It is important to plan early for the 2010 PASC State Conference as it will take place during the first weekend in October. Registration will begin in April and continue through mid-September.
