After classes end, we will head over to lunch and the vendor fair in the Arena, Building 3.  Lunch is free for all pre-registered attendees.  The Vendor Fair is also free and will have dozens of vendors from both non-profits and fundraising companies.  Offering you many great & free program ideas for your organization as well as the latest and greatest fundraising opportunities!  During the vendor fair, we will give away thousands of dollars in prizes from our sponsors! The specific class schedule and list of vendors will be updated as we get closer to the event.  You will receive email updates with specific information.  Stay tuned to our Facebook Page for up to date information. **NO REFUNDS FOR VENDORS.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  THE FUNDS FROM VENDORS ARE HOW WE GIVE TRAINING FOR FREE TO OUR ATTENDEES** Escambia County Council of PTAs/PTSAs (ECCPTA) is a group of local PTAs organized under the authority of the Florida Congress of Parents and Teachers.
