We're putting together a celebration with cake and door prizes. Our Homeschool Info Speaker Panel will include three local homeschool moms sharing insights and ideas from their own experiences: Jerry Burd, Kathleen Baker, and Erica Sagert. Additionally, representatives from four local homeschool groups will briefly tell about their programs: First Class Homeschool Ministries (AKA "Friday School"), Classical Conversations, ExCEL Academic League, and Family Academy (Academy Northwest). There will be opportunity for questions and answers with the speakers. Please invite homeschool friends and/or those you know who are interested in learning more about homeschooling! This event will be at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, May 6 at First Church of God, Fireside Room (enter through church front doors), 3300 NE 78th St, Vancouver, WA 98665. Start Gathering Your Items for CCHE's Used Curriculum Sale! New Online System for Sellers to Launch Soon! CCHE's Used Curriculum Sale will be held on Friday, June 13 this year, and we're making it easier than ever before to sell your used curriculum! Check the CCHE Website Curriculum Sale page after April 15 for new instructions. This year you will be able to register your materials online and print your labels on plain paper. You will also have the ability to search all items that have been registered online to see what will be available at the sale. Watch our upcoming e-newsletters for more information! Volunteers Needed for CCHE Used Curriculum Sale A large part of what makes our annual sale so successful is our wonderful crew of volunteers. It's not too early to start to consider being a part of that crew. We will need volunteers on Thursday, June 12 for set up and for checking in the books. On Friday, June 13, volunteers are needed to add up purchases and to sort the books at the end of the sale. Attend One of Our Volunteer Meetings: Either Monday, May 12 or Tuesday, June 10. The meetings will be from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room at First Church of God. For questions, email Connie Zumstein or call her at (360) 887-4933. Watch our upcoming e-newsletters for more information! Let's Work Together! Do you have a vision for giving encouragement to other homeschooling parents? CCHE is looking for some homeschool moms who would like to work alongside other CCHE leaders, to fill the positions of Vice Chair and Hospitality Coordinator. Please email Connie Zumstein or phone (360) 887-4933 for more info about becoming a helper in one of these positions. Homeschool Mentor Available Are you fairly new to homeschooling? Do you know someone who is considering homeschooling? Long-time homeschooling mom, Jerry Burd, desires to minister to families in these situations. Jerry has been a homeschooling mom for more than 27 years. Her wit and wisdom will encourage your heart and her godly perspective will shine light on "why" we educate and disciple children at home. If you or another mom you know needs counsel for this journey, just email cche@cchomeed.org with the subject "Mentoring Request" and include contact information. The email will be forwarded to Jerry. Seeking Volunteers CCHE is administered by homeschool parents just like you. There are some ongoing projects that require only a few hours per month. We also need help from time to time with events and we have a few board positions open. Would you please prayerfully consider this opportunity for service and ministry? For more information, please email cche@cchomeed.org. CCHE is Celebrating 25 Years! As of summer, 2013, CCHE was 25 years old. It's been a pleasure serving the homeschool community!
