June/July 2009
From the President's Desk
Dear Friends,
First, I
want to express my deepest appreciation to every homeschooler who
attended the 19th Annual Homeschool Convention. So many came to hear
the speakers and attend workshops. There was more than enough
exhibitors to see throughout the convention floor. Thank you for making
it a success for all of us.
Second, I want to thank the many
volunteers who helped make this happen. The coordinators especially who
work diligently to get their staff together for their departments as
well as the various hostesses/hosts, hospitality volunteers, etc. The
list goes on. Without you, we could not have pulled it off.
Third,
a hearty THANK YOU to the ENOCH Board for their tireless work. Everyone
contributed in making the convention successful. My wife and I were
happy to have them all. I was grateful to have the Trustees of ENOCH
attend and pitch in where needed. It made our lives easier.
I
hope you all carried away something in your hearts for yourselves, your
families and your school year ahead. There was much practical help
given through the keynote sessions and workshops. You can still hear
them if you missed one or two or more! ENOCH is offering cds/mp3 files
for you to purchase. Visit us at
http://www.enochnj.org for more details.
One
thing I love about the convention is getting to see faces of friends
and acquaintances I don't get to see all year long. It gives me time to
catch up with them; find out how things are going in their world, as
well as, in their homeschooling. One woman I've known for as long as I
have been homeschooling, is now a grandmother and helping with her
grandchildren. It's a blessing to see homeschooling being passed on to
the generations following.

Until September,
