COPPER COUNTRY HOME EDUCATORS UPDATES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CCHE QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING.  EVERYONE IS INVITED!

The Copper Country Home Educators Board would like to invite you to our quarterly board meeting at 7pm on Wed., Jan. 27th at Cyberia Cafe in Houghton.  In addition to our normal business meeting, we will be discussing science curricula.  If you're looking for suggestions or have a curriculum you have found helpful, please feel free to share.  We are also looking for ways to improve our web site, www.cchomeeducators.com.  How can we make it more useful to area homeschoolers? 

Consider this your "Mom or Dad's Night Out" and come meet your board and other homeschoolers.  We hope to see you there!

DRAMA CLUB

Hi, Everyone!  Just a reminder that our first drama club meeting (younger kids) will be Friday the 29th, 3-4 PM at the Portage Library, and we'll plan on meeting the 1st, 3rd and 5th (if there is one) Fridays of each month.  Somehow I wrote "Friday, January 21st" in the email from last November; I must have been looking at the wrong page in the calendar--sorry about that.

Tuesday's group begins meeting on the 26th from 3 to 4 (...or 4:30) at the Calumet Art Center, and, like last year, will be meeting every Tuesday.

Please call or email me if you have any questions or suggestions.  Hope to see you all soon--

Future Historians:

      Let's Talk about the Weather?

What:  "Weather History in the U.P."

       People always seem to be talking about the weather.  Imagine what life was like surviving a winter without modern utilities or transportation.  At this meeting Mr. Bohnak will offer rare glimpse how early pioneers coped with a harsh climate.  He will share stories about Charlie and Angelique Mott, who went to Isle Royale in the summer of 1843 to guard a mining claim with the promise of a boatload of supplies and a return trip in the fall.  Neither promise was kept, resulting in a little-known, but chilling tragedy.  The TV-6 weatherman will also share his findings and stories about strange Upper Peninsula phenomenon.

Who: Karl Bohnak, Chief Meteorologist, WLUC TV-6

When: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 7:00PM

Where: Michigan Iron Industry Museum, 73 Forge Road, Negaunee in the museum auditorium 

FYI, for those of you interested in participating in the summer role playing program you must attend at least three (3) of the regularly scheduled monthly meetings.

No Exceptions.

NEXT MONTH'S MEETING WILL BE HELD ON
