ENOCH of New Jersey e-Newsletter

AUGUST 2011

From the President’s Desk

Dear Friends, 

I would like to thank all of you (attendees, exhibitors, speakers and volunteers) for making this year’s convention successful.  During the convention I had an opportunity to visit with many of the exhibitors; this is always a great pleasure.  I was speaking with one exhibitor early Saturday afternoon and they said they were doing ok.  We talked a little more and then I left.  A few hours later as I was walking by they called me over. They told me that after I left, they became very busy with attendees buying their material, they were very happy.  

 We had received several emails and Facebook postings right after the convention stating how much people were blessed and encouraged by our speakers.  If you missed any session and did not pick up CDs of the workshops you can still order them by going to www.enochnj.org and click on the “Order 2011 Workshop Speakers”.  

This year exhibitor and attendees were able to follow us on Twitter during the convention. You can follow ENOCH on Twitter at ENOCH of NJ.  You can also follow ENOCH on Facebook at ENOCH of NJ.

 Plans for next year’s convention are well underway. The dates are May 18 &  19, 2012 and our speakers are all lined up - Michael Smith of HSLDA, Tracy Klicka of Home School Foundation and Mark Hamby of Lamplighter Publications.  We have some ideas we are working on for the Teen Program and the Children’s Program.  We had a great lineup this year with Jeff Baldwin, from World View Academy for the Teen Program and Jim Weiss, from GreatHall Productions and Historical Happening for the Children’s Program. 

A real special moment during the convention was when Andrew Pudewa presented Emma Jacobs, one of essay contest winners with her certificate and prize, before the Saturday morning keynote session. She was speechless.  Congratulations to all the winners of the essay contest.  

There is an online survey for everyone to take part of. We would appreciate it if you could take five minutes to fill out the survey. You can click here to get to the survey.  It will help us see where we can improve the convention and help serve homeschoolers better. 

Now as the summer is winding down homeschoolers in New Jersey maybe facing a bill regulating homeschooling in the state. Scott Woodruff, our attorney from HSLDA, ENOCH, along with the leaders from several other homeschooling organizations and other groups in the state will be watching this situation.  Right now there is no action that needs to be taken on your part.  If the situation changes we will send out an e-lert. 

We do ask that you will PRAY.

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ (Jeremiah 33:3)

In His Service,
Rich Millward
President
