SKATEFEST 2013
From Charles Cox:
I know this is early, however, the Savannah Civic Center actually reached out to us because they’ve narrowed the window for “group” ice skating this year and they wanted to offer us a slot.
So we’ve been plugged in for:
DEC 20, 2013 from 12:30 to 2:00
COST: $5.00 per skater, observers are free but I still need a tally of everyone in your group.
DEADLINE: December 11 for payment.
WHO: CBCCA, family, friends, and fellow homeschoolers
Please send email to: coxfamsc@gmail.com and indicate how many skaters and non-skaters that you have. Checks can be mailed to: 110 shell point rec. park, beaufort, SC 29906. Please call 843-476-6868 if you have any more questions.
NOTE: They still have their regular schedule for “public” ice skating; only the group sessions were reduced this year.

Host Homes Needed

HELP NEEDED! We need folks to offer host housing for moms and students coming to CBC for our practice Speech and Debate tournament, Friday, Nov 1 and possibly spending Saturday night, too. No cooking or entertaining or perfect house required! They just need a place to crash. This is the NCFCA (National Christian Forensics and Communications Association). The friends we’ve made through this group are a treasure. Please message me about blessing and being blessed by providing a bed or two! Gaye McNair sgmcnair@gmail.com
