A number of you have e-mailed regarding how to get tickets for the David McCullough event on May 9th. Steve has asked me to forward the following information to you regarding tickets.
"Cindy,
Please forward this email on to all your teachers so they know where to go to order tickets. I have attached an email below that Steve Starks sent out last week with all of the information. This is the only way to get tickets. If the link doesn’t work, please copy and paste the below link into your address bar:

(THERE IS A WEBLINK TO THIS ADDRESS ON THE SIDE TOOL BAR UNDER WEBLINKS)
Teachers,
Please forward this e-mail on to your colleagues and associates. Because of ticket demand, we have had to move the event to the historic Tabernacle on Temple Square. We would like to thank the Conference Center event office for hosting us for this special event.
Because of the Conference Center’s help, you will now be able to follow the link below and order free tickets directly from the Conference Center ticketing office. These tickets will then be mailed to you. Details for parking will follow but we encourage the use of public transportation including Trax. This event is open to Utah teachers and their families (children over 8). If you would like to invite students, please do so in moderation as the primary audience for this event is teachers. Mr. McCullough is excited to speak to you and has agreed to answer audience questions at the end of his remarks. He has also agreed to sign books after the event but there will be no books available for purchase on the day of the event so please make arrangements beforehand.
“The Larry H. Miller Education Project and Zions Bank are pleased to present "A Morning with David McCullough” for Utah teachers. Mr. McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, has authored, among other books, Truman, 1776, and John Adams, which remains one of the most critically acclaimed and widely read American biographies of all time and was the basis for the John Adams HBO min-series.
Mr. McCullough has lectured in all parts of the country and abroad, including the White House and a joint session of Congress. As one of the foremost author historians of our generation, Mr. McCullough speaks passionately about the value of education and its role in society.
Please join us on Saturday, May 9th from 10:00-12:00 for this special event. For ticket availability please click here. Participants are asked to arrive at the Tabernacle 15 minutes before the event. In conjunction with this event, The Constitutional Sources Project is hosting an essay competition for high school students and teachers sponsored by Ray Quinney & Nebeker P.C. and Kirton McConkie P.C. Twenty winning essayists (ten students, ten teachers) will meet with Mr. McCullough prior to the event and the top two students will be provided an all-expense paid trip to eastern historical sites summer of 2009.
