Chautauqua History
Did you know that Clara Barton (battlefield nurse and founder of the American Red Cross) was so shy as a girl she barely spoke? Of that she spent much of the Civil War on Hilton Head Island? Or that she traveled across SC to identify the dead at Andersonville prison in Georgia? Or that at age 72, she spent 10 months in Beaufort, SC rebuilding the Lowcountry after the devastating 1893 South Sea Island hurricane?
Find out more at this Chautauqua discussion – because its not just history – it’s personal.
Discussion led by Judith Bainbridge, PhD, professor emeritus Furman University and author of four books on Greenville history.

RSVP for this Thursday evening @ Chick-fil-A to learn about Classical Conversations
From Monica Wilkinson –
Dear Friends,
As we look ahead to another year of educating our children, some of you may be considering something different than your current situation. Have you ever considered how these tender years of our children can reap a harvest for eternity in how we invest in their education and spiritual life?
There are many ways you can impact your children for Christ and His kingdom through His strength and leading. I would love to share with you ways which our local CC community can come alongside any family who is considering home-centered education.
Classical Conversations mission is, “to know God and make Him known.” We love to look for ways that subjects integrate and all are showing us God and pointing us back to Him as well. Our true heart and desire is that our children would grow in “wisdom and stature and favor with God and man” as Jesus did in His time here on Earth. And, that at the beginning of their adulthood that they would be able to clearly and effectively communicate the Gospel, debate and defend truth with grace and boldness and do all for the glory of God.
Please join me Thursday evening, March 6th from 6:30-8:30pm at Chick-fil-A in Beaufort. Order your own dinner and let your children play in the play room or visit with my children! Would love the opportunity to share about the blessing CC has been in our homeschooling journey.
An RSVP is helpful as if I don’t receive any responses, this meeting will be canceled. If this time is not convenient, feel free to reply to this email and we can schedule something more convenient for you!
Blessings on your families and as you seek God’s plan and guidance for teaching and training your children for His kingdom!!

National Engineers Week
Engineers and computer scientists innovate, create and solve problems. They work together to make the world better. They are key to our healthy, safety and happiness. When children and teens get to experience engineering and computer science, they realize how interesting and fun these professions can be. That’s why the National Engineers Week Foundation – and the College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) at the University of South Carolina – are dedicated to attracting and cultivating the next generation of engineers and computer scientists.
National Engineers Week, which celebrates professionals in all fields of engineering and computing, will be held February 16-22. With help from our sponsors URS Corporation, the CEC is hosting a week of activities including guest speakers, a Code-A-Thon for USC students (sponsored by Boeing IT), and an Open House geared toward kindergarten through 12th grade students.
The Open House will be held on Saturday, February 22 from 10am – 1pm at the Swearingen Engineering Center at 315 Main Street on the USC Columbia campus. The free event will feature dozens of interactive exhibits that highlight the CEC’s programs and research including the following:
A helicopter landing Fuel cell demonstrations Electric and hybrid vehicles
A concrete canoe Robots Computer Games Segway Rides Lab tours
Visit from Cocky
For a full list of activities, visitwww.cec.sc.edu/eweek.Visitors, of all ages, are welcome, as are school groups.
The speakers series will feature experts on the gender wage gap and the growing rolls of women in engineering and computing. To register for these free seminars, visit www.cec.sc.edu/eweek.
