Information Meeting Training
If you are interested in hosting information meetings to share the vision of CC, please let me know. Kira Heflin and I will plan for a training in early January and then, invite the trainees to join us for a January information meeting presentation. After that, we'll set you loose on your own to host at least one info meeting during the registration season (February through June)

**There will be a jar and a folder for tallying maps drawn. Please tally for every 5 cents earned per map and put one corn kernel per 5 cents in the jar. You may submit your maps or keep them. We will also have a map of Africa where we will color in a country for each dollar earned. Please track your own child's progress. If your child is receiving donations from someone besides me, track that with tally marks and corn kernels but keep the funds until I announce that we will be submitting the donation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. If new communities open, I will offer a one week period during which you can switch your registration with no financial penalties.

3. If you move more than 100 miles away prior to the school year, I am able to transfer all fees to your new CC community.
Director Information GoTo Meeting
If you've ever entertained the idea of directing a CC program (Foundations/Essentials or Challenge), here's your chance to learn more. I love you all, but if God is calling you to this, I will be excited to see CC grow in our area. Here in Burien, we have a pressing need for a Challenge A Director/Tutor for next year and then, for adding Challenge directors/programs each year to come. If you are curious to know more, listen to a Director Interest call. They are no pressure, computer meetings that give you the ins and outs of CC leadership and an opportunity to ask questions. No one will chase you down afterwards. It's purely an opportunity to gather information. (and in case, you've ever wondered, husbands are welcome to consider these opportunities as well!)

Community and Area Needs
2. Foundations/Essentails Directors for new area communities - every year I turn away many families who would love to be in CC...we just don't have the room. If God has placed it on your heart to see a new community develop, please pray and consider listening to a Director Interest call.
3. Foundations tutors - I anticipate at least 6 Foundations class again next year. Please consider whether you are called to mentor one of those classes...or to be a much needed substitute.
4. Essentials tutor - There is potential for a second Essentials class on our campus next year. If all eligible students enroll, I think I have us at 16 or 17 students. Essentials classes are capped at 16 students with the potential of up to 3 classes (33 total students) per campus. I'd like to plan for at least, 2 Essentials classes next year.
5. Support Representative {SR} (aka Support Manager) - Western Washington is in need of more support staff for our growing communities. Many hands make like work. If you want to encourage and support the area growth and directors, please pray about serving in this vital role.

Memory Master Details
1. This should be done for God's glory not our selfish pride (as parents or kids). This is a great opportunity to do some character building - humility, diligence, perseverance...
2. You can end the process any time. If you only make it through one parent proof, it is still a reason for celebration. Celebrate each step along the way. The capacity God has given us for memory and learning is amazing . Every endeavor to learn our memory work is "training our brains to retain."
While in the past some communities have celebrated mastery specific subjects, CC has asked that we do not do this. Memory Master is a difficult challenge and we want to respect those that put their all into learning the whole thing. However, you are welcome to celebrate within your family any mastery your child achieves. I'd love to hear about it also. I want to celebrate these successes with you. We simply aren't able to provide special acknowledgment at the End of the Year Ceremony.
If you, as a parent, are interested in attempting the process, we will gladly celebrate your efforts and successes with you. CC policy encourages parents to try it but does not require that we commit our tutors or directors to help with the proofing process for parents. That said, I will gladly do a director proof for any adult who wishes to attempt it.
