Save the dates - July 20-23, 2011! 

The 2011 TBA convention will be held at Carson Springs Baptist Conference Center in Newport Tennessee.  We are planning an adventure for you in a new type setting.  Nestled in the woods at the end of a country road, Carson Springs is a beautiful facility with excellent food. Click here to see photos!

There is even a Comfort Inn just 3.5 miles away as well as a nice campground on the road into the conference center.  For those of you who have attended Jabez, this is an upscale version that you will love.  Another added feature this year is that you will be able to select and pay for the meals you wish to eat at the conference center, as well as pay for your room, during the registration process.  Hopefully, this one step shopping will make things easier for you. 

One thing you need to do ASAP is make sure that your 2010-2011 dues are paid.  If you did not renew them at convention, please do so right away.  Click here for a membership form! All current TBA members will be involved again this year in the actual selection of baskets for the convention and you don't want to miss out on this activity!!!  Last year was our first attempt, and it was so successful that we want to do it again.  And if you know any teachers that you would like to participate in our convention, tell them to check out our TBA web page and apply on line.  Each of us loves great teachers, so start beating the bushes!  We'll keep you posted on further details regarding the voting process. 

We hope you all will become as excited as we are about this new adventure at a new venue.  Join us at our "Smoky Mountain Hideaway" on July 20-23 in 2011.
