New Art Gallery in Ontonagon –
For those of you that live near Ontonagon – I thought I'd pass along a little good news: the backroom of the Senior Citizens' Center is being transformed into an art gallery. River Street, at 300 Lake St. will house Frank (withheld for archive) black and white pieces initially but the plans are to display other artists' works. The gallery is slated to open in the new year. See the Mining Gazette for further information:

Finlandia's Pool Closed -
As many of you heard – Finlandia has closed its pool until further notice. Right now, Finlandia's on winter break so we will not have any new information for a couple weeks. Here's what Finlandia's website has to say:

It sounds like the pool may be closed for a while. If anyone has any other ideas as for a similar type activity – please email ccheupdates@gmail.com.
College Night at Finlandia University
Mark your 2011 calendars.
College Night will be held from 6:00-8:00 PM at the Finnish American Heritage Center at Finlandia University on Wednesday, January 26, 2011.
We welcome you and other high school students and families to our campus to talk with professors about academic programs, financial aid, and admissions. It's also a great time to inquire about enrolling your student (or yourself) in just one class!
I hope you can make it to this special event.

Christmas Sales to Support CCHE has ended–
Later today I will be removing the banner links from CCHE's Website and Blog Sites. Thank you to those that purchased through the links. Our Amazon store will remain open for purchase of homeschooling materials. If there is something you'd like to see added to the catalogue please let me know at ccheupdates@gmail.com. Right now the offerings are sparse but I am trying to add more as time allows. If you want to purchase something but don't feel it should be added to the main catalogue I can also set up a special order.

Community Comments/Questions:
Hi,
Will you please save those long, empty gift wrap tubes for me? I need them for a Storytime project. I need about 60 - 75 of them, so every little bit will help.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
