Folks,
My wife wrote almost all of the following, I just customized
it. She is right about the snacks. NCFCA people put on a spread. And if you (or
your significant others) judge next week you will hear good,
entertaining speakers. For free! And you are qualified.
This Speech & Debate League (NCFCA) is specifically for
Christian Homeschoolers to prepare them to think clearly and express themselves
winsomely -- and don't we all want that not only for our own children, but for
all children?
One way to further this goal is to come, listen to them
speak and offer feedback: in short, to be a Community Judge. The
opportunity requires a 3-hour time commitment, and NO prior speech or debate
training is required. The necessary judge orientation will take place
within the 3 hour time, and I must say: Hearing these young people -- the
hope of our future -- speak & debate is a real joy! Come out and
listen! I really believe you will be glad you did. And we -- the
students and parents of NCFCA -- will be most grateful! If you really
like it, we could always use you in a second 3-hour slot.
The Tournament is Thursday, Feb. 20 -- Saturday, Feb. 22nd
and various shifts are available anywhere from 7:15am to 7:15pm.
It will be held at Emmanuel Baptist Church at 101st &
Metcalf in Overland Park.
* And about that 'Free Entertainment'? The first time
I served as a Community Judge, that's exactly what I thought.
"Wow! This was waaay better than going to a movie, I didn't even
have to pay, and they gave me great snacks!" I hope likewise that
your experience with us will be engaging and entertaining!
On behalf of our homeschool families of the NCFCA Speech
& Debate League, Thank you for your prayerful consideration! We hope
to be in touch with you shortly to see how this might fit into your
schedule. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions.
Yours,
