Agape News

300 and Growing

Agape Leadership Development has just reached 300 families!  We count families by e-mail addresses since we don't have "members" or a membership roster to keep a record.  We are so very thankful for each and every one of you that participate and support our activities. Our sincere hope is that your family is enriched by what we do and that your homeschool experience is enhanced by the activities we provide.  We are looking forward to a bigger and brighter 2012 -- WITH YOU!  God bless!

BOX TOP TIME! Save Those Box Tops!

Agape Leadership Development is asking you to SAVE THOSE BOX TOPS!  In case you're not already saving them, we encourage you to start clipping the Box Tops for Education that can be found on the boxes/bags of products you're already using.  Each Box Top equals $.10 and those dimes will really add up!  The money collected helps offset the cost involved with maintaining this website and/or our annual graduation banquet.  So . . . SAVE THOSE BOX TOPS!  Get grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, church family members involved with us!  We will collect them twice per year--once in October and the next in February.  The next Box Top deadline is February 7, 2011.  Thank you for your support!

New Ambassador for the Homeschool Foundation

     We want to welcome Mr. Brian Mann as Onslow County's newest (and perhaps only) Community Ambassador for The Homeschool Foundation.  Brian is the pastor at Catherine Lake Baptist Church, and the Lord has laid it on his heart to also jump in and get involved with this wonderful assistance program.  The Homeschool Foundation is a charitable foundation established by the HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) to bless the homeschool community and promote homeschooling.  For more information, contact Brian at mann4christ@gmail.com and/or visit their website www.homeschoolfoundation.org.
