WELCOME to the CHOC Talk, the message forums of the CHOC Board (the Christian Homeschool Online Community Board for westside, and general, Portland, OR). These forums act as "classified ads" and message boards for Christian homeschoolers, and businesses and organizations that serve homeschoolers, to connect with each other to share specific details and information, including time-sensitive events, useful to the homeschool community. The forums are also a great place to connect with other like-minded individuals. Please feel free to contribute knowledge of an upcoming event, fun outing, great activity, new class starting, or query others about a homeschool issue or share homeschool ideas. The forum headings show what topics should go where. The sticky topics in each forum tell how to post and what is allowed (please remain respectful of a Christian worldview and always friendly, wholesome, and truthful). This is the interactive side of our CHOC board "directory" where you in the homeschool community can help generate those great ideas that get archived on our website! (To see the CHOC Board website, please click on our logo above). So join in the fun, post, and connect!

Special Discounts offered through the month of September When the time comes to learn lessons in political science, Christian students are turning to the TeenPact state capitol experience instead of just a textbook. TeenPact teaches the foundations of government during a week-long session at the Oregon State Capitol. TeenPact Leadership classes teach students Biblical principles of government, going hand-in-hand with the values of families who participate. It is very important that our young people see that spiritual revival is the answer to America’s problems – not politics. We teach students that every Christian must pray and vote according to Biblical principles. 2010 Oregon State Class Dates: Oregon I- Four-Day Class April 26-29 (age 13-19)            One-Day Class April 30 (age 8-12)            Public Speaking April 30 (age 13-19)   Oregon II- Four-Day Class May 3-6 (age 13-19)            One-Day Class May 7 (age 8-12)            Public Speaking May 7 (age 13-19) Registration for the Oregon 2010 TeenPact Leadership classes will be officially open on September 1st, 2009.

Please take time to read through this email to clear up any confusion you might have and to possibly save you money through discounts only offered in the month of September.   2010 Oregon State Class Dates: Oregon I- Four-Day Class April 26-29 (age 13-19)            One-Day Class April 30 (age 8-12)            Public Speaking April 30 (age 13-19)   Oregon II- Four-Day Class May 3-6 (age 13-19)            One-Day Class May 7 (age 8-12)            Public Speaking May 7 (age 13-19)   Oregon I (April 26-30) must fill up before Oregon II (May 3-7) will open up for registration.   In order to take advantage of the $30 early bird discounts (offered only in the month of September) I would recommend you sign your student up NOW for the Oregon I class to assure a spot is still available.    If you are interested in the Oregon II class (May 3-7) please contact me either by email or phone and let me know you would be interested in being in the Oregon II class if we receive enough students registrations to hold that class. We will then contact you regarding a possible opening of that class, but you must sign up for Oregon I to get any discounts. You can always be moved later if the class fills up.   To register you only need to make a $60 deposit (which is refundable up to a few days before the class if you are unable to attend the class) The balance is due just before the class, giving you or your student time to raise any funds necessary to attend the class.   I know this may be confusing but it is the best way to assure that we have enough students to hold one well attended class and hopefully a second. Last year Oregon had one of the largest classes across the country - God is doing a might work here in Oregon.   Please contact me either by phone or email if you have any questions.   Joyfully, Carol Neumann -- TeenPact OR State Coordinator (503).632.3408 oregon@teenpact.com 9/11/2009, 7:47 pm Send Email to gtnas5   Send PM to gtnas5 Add a reply Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat You are not logged in (login)      Board's time is: 11/27/2009, 2:28 am
