Yearbook Update
From Megan Shytle:
CBCCA Members,
Please forgive me for not getting back with you sooner about yearbooks. I have been working to put it together, but it is always a ‘backburner’ project. After the wise council of a veteran cbcca mom I will be postponing the yearbooks til August/September. My plan is to have them by the mandatory meeting for 2013-14. I am sorry for the delay. Getting the rest of this years things done to higher precedence and with summer rolling in and the time frame of our family being together is shortening I took wise advice to stop working on them until John is on his way to his new temporary home in Korea.
So no one has missed ordering. I don’t have a final cost because it will be determined by how many pages it comes to, but est. it to be between $35-40. I am using Shutter fly to put the yearbook together so they will be nice, hardback/spine, and good quality. As August approaches I will get you more info, but for budgeting purposes for your family, that is an estimate. On a good note, we can make more than 1 order, so if you can’t get it the first time we can do it again the second, or third 😉
Thanks for your understanding
Blessings
Megan 🙂

Would you like to sell your used curriculum and books at the Book Blast?
The BOOK Blast is a non-profit, volunteer used curriculum sale held in conjunction with the Coastal Home Educators Conference at Community Bible Church in Beaufort, SC. It is undertaken each year as a ministry to the coastal homeschooling community.
You do not need to be a member of Community Bible Church or of CBCCA in order to be a BOOK Blast participant. However, there is an additional 10% processing fee for all non-CBCCA members.
Whether you wish to buy or sell, each participant must register for the conference.
This includes entry into Friday and Saturday’s CHEC including the BOOK Blast, Vendor Hall, Keynote and all workshops. We hope that you will choose this year to go to our informative workshops and be encouraged by fellow homeschoolers in addition to getting great deals on curriculum!
The BOOK Blast runs on Friday from 9 until 3 and on Saturday from 9 until noon.
How Do I Become a Seller?
After you register for the conference you can click here to register as a seller. You are not required to register for the conference in order to start entering your items online, but you will not be an official seller until you have registered for the conference.
The last day for people to enter items into the book blast system is Tuesday, June 11th at midnight.
What Can I Sell at CHEC?
Our focus is on curriculum, curriculum, curriculum. In addition, readers of all kinds, math manipulatives, science stuff and educational supplemental materials are a must! Bibles, devotionals and educational aids are also welcome.
Keep in mind this not a yard sale, but a place to sell the kinds of things YOU will be looking for to use in your own homeschool next year!
At CHEC our mission is to encourage all homeschoolers, but keep in mind we are a Christian homeschooling group. We will not be able to sell items that conflict with our Christian values. Please use discretion.
What are the Selling Instructions?
After you are registered as a seller, books and materials must be properly labeled. We have two methods for labeling items:
Bar Coding Labeling
This system enables sellers to easily track sales. It also streamlines the sale for buyers and sellers. Added bonus? You will get your money back much more quickly!
CHEC Book Blast Instructions 2013
Don’t have time to barcode? Sheryl Duffy is available to label your books. Click here for more information.
Manual Labeling
You may also manually label your books. There is an additional 10% processing fee for using the manual system. If you are also a non-CBCCA member there is a cap on the processing fee so you will not be charged an additional 10% fee.

When do I drop off my books?
Thursday June 13th – from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Where do I drop off my books?
- You must use the FRONT ENTRANCE of the CBC Children’s Building that faces Parris Island Gateway. We will have signs directing you.
- Do not enter through the back of the building or the Atrium, as we will not carry books up to the BOOK Blast Area for you.
What do I need to bring with me to the book drop off?
- Properly labeled books.
- If you are bar-coding – your inventory list.
- You should be already registered for CHEC 2012. If not you are not registered, you will need to fill out a registration form, and pay the registration fee before you can drop off your books.
- Self-Addressed, stamped envelope to the sale so that we can mail you your check.
What happens to my books after the sale?
On Saturday from 2:00 – 4:00 pm you must come pick up your unsold books.
We have no place to store unsold books. Make arrangements with a friend or come yourself to get your unsold books. It will be your responsibility to check and see if you have books left over.
** Veteran tip! Many sellers will share this responsibility with another seller. One will drop off books and the other will stay and pick up. However you choose to it, you must make sure you make arrangements to pick up your books.
Items not picked up by Saturday at 2:30 will be donated Goodwill.
What if I have stuff I want to give away?
We have a area for free items in the Atrium located between the Children’s Building and the Main Building. Please DO NOT drop off free items in the BOOK Blast area. You can drop off items in the Atrium anytime during BOOK Blast drop off times or during the conference until Saturday morning at 10:00 am.
What if I have more questions?
Call Sheryl at 812-2820 or email duffydsr@gmail.com.
