Group Meeting | Thursday, Sept. 24

We will focus on storytelling: some stories can be funny, some serious, some exciting. Come to the group with a story from your life—either written or something you can describe to share with the group. Demonstrate different book cover examples. Take time to design a cover for the story.

Chess with Friends

Posted on by Greater Purpose Homeschoolers

Thursdays in April from 2pm-3pm. In January, our chapter’s Chess Day with the East Columbia 55+ Center was AWESOME!  I loved seeing our students playing and learning from opponents ages 60-80+!  As a result of that interest and in the spirit of TEAM we will continue to play together online at Chesskid.com.   If you have not visited the site before. It is extremely kid-friendly with chess lessons and the ability to play games against opponents.

Check your email for information to participate.
