Living History Event

Hello all,
If you are planning to come to the Living History Event slated for November 11 in Hanover, please let me know. We need CHESS members to bring breakfast items such as muffins, fruit, etc.

Even if you can't bring something, I want to get a general head count of who may be coming. I would really hate to set this up and have our Veteran talking to an empty auditorium.

It may not seem like a "big deal" event, but it will be a big deal if you can come and bring your family. This is such an awesome opportunity for our kids to learn what Veteran's Day is about and to learn history first-hand from a living, breathing person who was there. All homeschoolers are welcome as well as the general public. So invite extended family.

The church will be charging us for facility usage (this was a shock to me. I am a member there and they have never charged us in the past.) So I will be collecting a free-will offering to help offset those costs.

I hope to see many of you there.
Blessings,
Patti

Here is the information I posted on HSBulletinBoard:

Veteran's Day Living History Event
sponsored by Christian Home Educator Support Services

Friday, November 11, 2011 (Veteran’s Day)
9:30am
First Baptist Church of Hanover
217 Fulton St, Hanover, Pa
Cost: Free (A free-will offering will be collected to offset costs of facility usage)

Join us for donuts and coffee (or milk) as we gather round and listen to the stories of a veteran of the US Navy. He will share stories with us about his experiences while in the military as well as stories from his growing up before the internet.
This promises to be a delightful and educational event for the whole family.

A card will also be circulated for those who wish to sign. The card will be given to Mr. Willard at the end of the event. Any other notes/pictures children may wish to bring to thank Mr. Willard for his service to our country would also be welcome.
