18^TH ANNUAL CHEACT SUMMER CONFERENCE AND BOOK FAIR - June, 2005

Your conference committee and Board are starting to buzz with last-minute summer conference details. There is a growing excitement as we see this conference taking shape. We are going to unprecedented lengths to get the word out about our conference all across our region. Besides a direct mailing to almost double the households that we have reached in the past, we have just signed a contract to announce this year's conference on ten billboards in the greater Austin area. You will also find a flyer designed for display on your church's bulletin board up on our web site. Please help us get the word out. This year's conference will have plenty to offer!

EVER ONWARD - April, 2005

Once again we find ourselves in a new season of CHEACT. Sadly, we must say goodbye to Jim Bob and Amy Howard. Jim Bob has served as our Treasurer for almost two years now, and took a position on staff to R.C. Sproul Jr. in Virginia this past month. Even though he is remote, Jim Bob will continue as the CHEACT Webmaster while we work through architectural changes in how the site is built and maintained.

A HEDGE OF COURTESY - February, 2005

Each month, CHEACT holds two "Getting Started" meetings at public libraries in Austin. Before taking responsibility for the North meeting, I attended one that Chris and Bev Parrish hosted, just to see how the meeting ran. Chris opened up the meeting by saying, "There are as many reasons to homeschool as there are homeschoolers." While that may be true, I have found a few traits in homeschoolers that we all have in common.
