Good morning, Home Educators.
I thought this might be a good fit for all of you to visit our campus on Thursday.
Chapel of St. Mathew is in the middle of our campus. Feel free to park behind Old Main (first hidden drive on the right after the bookstore. Call me with your questions. (withheld for archive). This musical is geared to children of all ages. I hope to see you there!
TALE OF THE THREE TREES
Campus Ministry will be performing the musical "Tale of the Three Trees" this Thursday, April 8th at 5:30pm. The musical is geared towards younger children, yet is fun for the entire family. Intermission time will include a short message of sharing and encouraging faith. A reception will follow in the lower level of the Chapel. All are welcome!

Good Morning, Home Educators.
Karen Johnson is the Executive Director of Communications at Finlandia University. I have forwarded your home school association emails to her so that she can keep you updated on what's happening on our beautiful campus in downtown Hancock.
I continue to value our communication with each other. I continue to enjoy the conversations we have had already about questions, concerns, and possibilities that come to mind.
I will be in attendance for Finlandia University as an exhibitor at the 27th Annual INCH Convention in Lansing, MI on May 14-15, 2010. If you are in attendance, make sure to stop by and introduce yourself. I also hope to attend the MACHE Convention in MN in Spring 2011.
If there are other home educator's associations who would like communications from Finlandia, please pass them along to Karen and to me. Finlandia University travels all over the country (and the world) and we enjoy the communication that follows.
I personally will be in and around the Twin Cities - April 25-29, Detroit – May 4-6, and Lansing – May 13-15. If you would like more information about locations/times because friends/relatives would like to meet me and talk about Finlandia, please pass my contact information along and I will provide more details upon request. I am also available to talk with your home school associations about Finlandia University.
I hope you continue to have a great week.
Lynn
