Communication FUNdamentals

Apr. 22, 2008

Name Our Convention Day Contest! FIMM gave it a try...How about YOU?


Episode 95: FIMM's Name Our Convention Day Contest Entry!

The 4th Annual Say What You Mean Convention planning is underway and the moderators and I are not sure what to call the last day!  If you can help us, you can win:





BACKGROUND:
Next year's Say What You Mean Convention theme is Homeschooling

The first day will be Kid's Day where we will be teaching communication skills for children, showcasing various curricula, fun games and contests for kids. 

The second day is Mom's Day where we will have seminars on communication for parents and spouses and in every day life. We will also feature other information and things that support the homeschool mom! 

The third day is the one we need some help with.  The third day we will be talking about after homeschool graduation when your student goes into the "real world".  We will have some homeschool graduates speak about their experiences with college, in the workforce, in Corporate America, or who have gone on to become moms or owners of small businesses.  We will also discuss the myth of socialization and how to answer those questions people have about homeschooling.  We will feature things that help homeschoolers after graduation. 

So...what would you call the third day of the Fourth Annual Say What You Mean Convention? 



FIMM'S SUGGESTION:
FIMM decided he would have a go at it.  This is his entry:


The After Your Homeschoolers Graduate and Go Off into the Real World Day



I know you are all shocked, but we can't use that one.  It just doesn't...roll off your tongue!  Surely you can do better than FIMM!!



CONTEST DETAILS:
* We will be taking nominations for a name for the third day of the Fourth Annual (February 2009) Say What You Mean Convention from now until April 30th.

* Just post your entry here as a comment to this blogpost along with your name.

* Post as many entries as you like! 

* On May 1st we will post all of the entries together in a new blogpost and you will all get to vote on the one you like best! 

* The author of the winning entry will win the above prize package!

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DON'T MISS: Tuesday Tips, Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man, Friday Funnies, Defending the Faith SONdays ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
