Everyone is welcome to come to this Barn Dance! Gena is organizing a massive sleepover at JenIg's, she's pretty sure they can sleep 100 in Jen's basement, just as long as you are willing to sleep in rows and share pillows.
Not sure you want to take the time to come? Then you need to know that JenIg will be there. Gena says to be sure to tell you that alone should be worth the trip! Now there's a cause for dancing! Oh how I wish I could come!
Barn Dance/ Auction Fund Raiser
Saturday, November 4th, 2006
Having a lot of fun, for a great cause!
Mark your calendars!
THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE MAGAZINE
is planning to cover this event in their Winter Edition
http://www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com/
Homeschoolers of the Tri-cities area:
Please join us for a Barn Dance and Auction Fund Raiser
As we raise support for the mission work
for the gospel of Jesus Christ, and making disciples
of our Lord in Ethiopia
"Since the fall of 2004 Becky and I have made several trips to the land of Becky's youth as self-supporting missionaries. Many people have expressed an interest in this ministry, and it is primarily for them that we have written the following reports. We pray that all who read them will be blessed and challenged by what our Lord is doing in the Horn of Africa, just as we have been." -- Dave Black
Read about the work we are supporting with proceeds
from the barn dance/auction:

(We are currently looking into possibly holding this event at the Coomes Center in Abingdon, VA ~ but if you know of another place available to allow us to use their facility at little or no charge, we would appreciate hearing about that!--Thanks for your help!)

We plan to auction off homemade goodies, gift baskets, hand-crafted gifts, etc. What a great homeschool project to be planning with your children!
Here is a link to a barn dance held in Illinois
by homeschoolers there a few weeks ago:

in addition, please bring a plate of finger foods
for munching on during the dance

Laurie Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit

has posted pictures at her blog
These may give you some great ideas
about what you could make for the auction.
More details will be coming soon, but mark your calendars and start planning the creative items your family can bring to be auctioned off and help the spread of the gospel and making disciples for Christ in Ethiopia!
