CORE Board wants you!

Hello homeschool community!
I hope that you all are off to a great start for this school year. It has been great to see many of you out and about at various homeschool events over the past couple of weeks. Speaking of events it is time to start thinking about what kinds of things we'd like to organize for the rest of the year. My goal for the year as the new CORE coordinator is to bring our community together even more than we already are. I want to have Northland CORE organize many more events for our community's homeschool families and give us all plenty of opportunities to get to know one another, and to just get out and have some fun!
In order to meet these goals we need your help! We need more homeschooling parents to serve on the CORE board to help come up with new ideas for the year, as well as parents who would be willing to take the reigns and plan an activity that would be open to the homeschool community at large. (You do not need to serve on the board to plan an activity, so you would not necessarily need to commit to anything long term.)
We are also looking for kids who would be interested on serving on an all new CORE Kids Advisory Board. This is the thing that I am most excited about this year! I am still working out details, but my hope is that we can put together this Kids Advisory Board to give our kids a chance to tell us what events they'd like to see happen, to help plan those events, and to write for the CORE newsletter, among other things.
The meeting will be 7 p.m. in the Barnes and Noble coffee shop.

EDITED: The CORE board meeting has been rescheduled for October 12th at 7 PM. We will still be meeting at Barnes & Noble.

If you have a child or children interested in serving on the Northland CORE Kid's Advisory Board please email me! I will be setting up a first meeting for the kid's board once I find out how many kids are interested in participating.

Thank you, everyone!
Shana Clauson
Northland CORE Coordinator
