The ASEF is a satellite event of the USA Science and Engineering Festival (www.usasciencefestival.org).  Together, the festivals that will be held concurrently across the country in October, 2010, will be the first nationwide celebration of science and engineering.

The ASEF has two components;

• Events (Oct 2- 22) held at various locations across the community
• Expo (Oct 23-24) at the Austin Convention Center

All events and the expo are open to the public at no charge.

If you need any specific information about the festival, please let me know.

5th Annual Homeschool Clothing Swap
Circle C Park (6487 Slaughter Lane West Austin, TX 78749)
Friday, October 22nd
1pm-3pm 
 
If the weather is unsuitable to our outdoor location, we will meet at :
Bethany Lutheran Church
3701 W. Slaughter Ln
Austin, TX 78749

This is an open gathering for homeschooling families.
We would love to have you join us!

Start gathering your items and prepare to bring them to the swap. The following items are welcomed: clothing for the whole family, games, toys, baby items, books, etc.

All unclaimed items are donated to charity.

In the past we have donated items to an orphanage in Mexico and locally to the Settlement Home for girls. This past year we were able to bless missionaries from several countries to take supplies back with them to bless other families around the world.

If your children are in need of some clothing, or if you are in need of more space in your overflowing closets and drawers, this is a great
opportunity.

Here's what to expect:

Gather up all of your family's outgrown-BUT-still-useful clothing, coats, jackets, toys, books/curriculum, etc., and bring it all to Circle
C Park on Oct. 22nd at 1pm.

We will have each mom divide her clothing by category, for ex., boys, girls, infants, women's, men's, shoes, etc, and place them on the blankets provided.  Each mom is then free to collect any items that will be of use to her family.  We ask that there is a continued spirit of giving and sharing as we have experienced in the past.  This not the place for greed, hoarding, snatching or any other unfriendly conduct.

If your goal is to come and take the best items to resell, we kindly ask you to rethink your motives. When you come to this event and see the homeschool community coming together with open hearts and open hands, giving to meet the needs of one another, it should move you to want to do the same, not take advantage.

There are NO limits, there is NO cost.
We freely give and we freely receive at this event!!!

Once all the moms are done "shopping" @ around 3pm, we gather the leftovers to donate them to charity. Last year most
moms left with arm loads and we still had piles to donate.  So bring plenty of bags to take home your goodies.

You are welcome to attend the swap even if you don't have items to contribute to the swap. This is an opportunity to bless others as well as be blessed, so come.

Hope to see you on Friday October 22nd! Be sure to bring a friend!! In the past we have had anywhere from 40-60 or more families participate and it's growing every year.

Please forward this message and spread the word.  Thanks everyone.

School Days at Texas Renaissance Festival is an event that is open exclusively to school groups grades K-12.  The 53-acre New Market Village, an authentic recreation of a 16th century English township, comes alive with interactive characters, live demonstrations, performers and stage shows appropriate to school age children.  It will be held on November 2nd and 3rd.  Tickets may be ordered in advance for $6 per person (over 4yrs), but the order must be MAILED and received no later that October 1.  Children are invited to go in costume - anything from Robin Hood, princesses, villagers, fairys, musketeers to King Henry (I've even seen vikings). For more info go to www.texrenfest.com.  I will be going on Tuesday the 2nd, but there may be some interested in going on Wednesday. 

On Tuesday September 28, I will be doing a class on the Art and History of Dye Making.  We will be exploring ancient and modern natural dyes, the process of dye making and the significance of dye in the Bible.  We will be able to sample some natural dyes.  To finish, we will be tie-dying our own t-shirts.  Everyone who wants to participate should bring their own prewashed white shirt.  I will bring everything else.  I will have trash bags to use as smocks, but it would be wise to wear something that is ok to "play" in.  Call me if you have any questions - Amber.

Sea World has a Homeschoolers day.  It is only open to us on Sept. 23., and when you sign up they send you a curriculum package. 
Enjoy SeaWorld when it is open exclusively for groups. Bring your own lunch and enjoy a picnic with your group, plus during your half-day program, you can visit:
 

Dolphin Cove		Atlantic and Pacific bottlenose dolphins
Sharks/The Coral Reef		Sandtiger, nurse and black-tipped sharks, and fish from around the world
Seal & Sea Lion Community		Harbor seals, California sea lions, North American river otters, Asian small-clawed otters and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal

You will also receive an educational animal presentation at two stadiums designed specifically for education groups.  The WaterPark and rides are NOT open.
 

Just wanted to share that next weekend there will be a scrapbook expo at the San Marcos Convention Center near the outlet malls.  Here's the website with all the info.  The girls and I will be going on Friday and doing one of their classes - ART Class :0)
