November 2011 Newsletter

ENOCH of New Jersey e-Newsletter

NOVEMBER 2011

From the President’s Desk

Dear Friends,
It is hard to believe that ENOCH’s 22nd Annual Homeschool Convention is only 7 months away and registration for exhibitors has been open since October 19th. When we reviewed the on-line surveys that were done after the convention, one of the things that we gleaned from them was that you are looking for more curriculum based exhibitors. We know that is important to you and that is why you come to the convention. But there are some things that keep us from getting more curriculum based exhibitors. Many of these exhibitors do not come to our convention because we do not have the attendance that they need to make it worth their while to come. This is a predicament. Attendees do not want to attend the convention because there are not enough curriculum base exhibitors and those exhibitors do not come because our attendance is too low. One thing I ask is that you contact your favorite supplier and encourage them to come to the convention, (May 17-18. 2012). Let than know that you would like to see them at our convention. Early-bird registration for exhibitors is open until April 15, 2012. They can register on-line at http://www.enochnj.org/index.php/2012convention/exhibitor_reg2012.

It gives me great pleasure to officially welcome to the ENOCH Board, Michele Gross as Secretary. Michele has worked for several years at ENOCH’s Support Group Leadership Conference and last year as the convention’s Volunteer Coordinator. This year she is the Exhibitor’s Coordinator for the convention. The Board is very excited to have her come along to serve the homeschoolers in New Jersey.

I want to remind the Support Group Leaders that our Annual Leadership Conference will be held November 12, 2011. You can find more information about the conference inside this newsletter. Our speaker is Mike Donnelly of HSLDA. We have been working on some things that will encourage and help you that you can pass along to your members. Make plans to join us.

As we begin the holiday months, remember to give thanks to God for His blessings this year.

Rejoicing in Him,
Rich Millward
President
