March events at CLC and in the Community
February 22, 2008
I just wanted to let everyone know about some upcoming
events both at CLC and in the area during the month of
March.
Hours:
In addition to our usual Monday – Thursday hours, we will
open the first Saturday in March, March 1st. We will also
be open the following Friday and Saturday, March 7th and
8th. (All days are 12:00 – 5:00 p.m.)
Used Books:
Bad news: We will not be taking consignments during the
first two weeks of March. Good news: We will host our
first Used Book Sale of the season on Thursday evening,
March 27th. Please let us know if you are planning to
attend as a Seller, so we make sure there are enough
tables. Sellers may arrive to set up between 6:00 and
6:30, and the Sale officially begins at 7:00. (These
usually go till about 8:30 or 9:00.) Leaving unsold items
after the sale on consignment is an option, but there is no
obligation. There is also no cost to participate.
Watercolor Classes:
There are still a few slots in Betty Wilson’s upcoming
Watercolor Classes (ages 10 – 15), though they are going
quickly. The first 2 classes will be March 17 and March 20
from 1 – 3 p.m. Each class costs $12 (a student may take
either or both), and we will be taking sign ups/payment at
the store.
Leonardo da Vinci:
With the current exhibit on Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions
at the Art Museum (more details below), we are happy to
have finally increased our line of materials on Leonardo da
Vinci. My 60+ page book on da Vinci has been republished
with some clearer pictures, and a slightly different
format. The new book is $12, and while they last, the
original version is $8. We also have a Leonardo Lapbook
for $6, and several Mini Units for $2 each.

Other March Opportunities outside CLC
Leonardo da Vinci Exhibit:
The exhibit at the Huntsville Art Museum on Leonardo’s
Inventions is interesting, though not huge. It probably
took us 15 – 20 minutes to look at all the models, and
another 5 minutes to check out the computers. We also
viewed the 50 minute biography film on Leonardo, but it is
not appropriate for children! (I was very glad I was there
the first time with 2 other adults – and not my children.)

Milestones Debate and Speech Club
I have helped judge at these tournaments the last couple of
years, and it is quite an experience. You don’t have to be
available each day, or all day, to be able to judge. All
they ask for is a three hour commitment. And don’t worry
about not knowing what you are doing – they provide
training – and there are always two other judges judging
the same event.
For the second year, Milestones Debate and Speech Club will
be hosting a qualifying debate and speech tournament in
Huntsville, Alabama. This year's tournament will be held
Monday, March 17 – Wednesday, March 19 at UAH. Students
(and their families) from Tennessee, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Alabama will return to Huntsville to compete
in two styles of debate and ten different speech events.
Winners of the various events will qualify to compete in
the regional tournament for an opportunity to compete in
the National Tournament in June.
In order for this tournament to be a success, we need to
again enlist the help of the community to judge the
students who will be competing in the tournament. Your
participation in last year's tournament gave the students
who competed the feedback they needed to improve their
skills and I am hopeful that your schedule will allow you
to participate with us again this year.
I know that your schedule is hectic, but I know that these
students will bless you...and you will bless them as well…I
hope that you will be able to join us sometime during the
tournament.
Please let me know if you need additional information or if
I can answer any questions. Have a great day!
Thanks so much!

YWAM – DTS
Several of my children have been/are involved with Youth
With A Mission. One of them wanted me to pass on the
following information, in case any of you had students who
would want to attend one of their upcoming Schools (in
Louisville, KY).
God is at work to redeem the nations, and here at Youth
With A Mission we believe that He has an active role for
you to play.
The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a five-month
course of intense discipleship and ministry training. Our
goal in offering this school is that it would help prepare
you to pursue God's call on your life.
Course Content
The first three months of DTS combine life-changing
teachings, small group and one-on-one discipleship, local
outreach, and other activities for a well-rounded growth
experience. Topics that will be covered include intimacy
with God, evangelism, spiritual warfare, walking in freedom
from sin, hearing God's voice, missions, worship, prayer,
and more! Also, this fall we will be attending a
conference led by Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth
With A Mission.
The adventure continues with a two-month ministry trip.
We'll start here in the states, visiting churches and using
the creative arts to present a challenge to a deeper walk
with Christ and greater missions involvement. Then we'll
take what we've learned overseas, sharing the Gospel with
those who most need to hear!
Dates & Cost
The next DTS begins March 30, 2008. And our Fall DTS begins
September 21, 2008. The cost is $2890, which covers
tuition, books, food, and housing expenses while you are in
Louisville. Remember that tuition does not cover the
outreach expenses, as those will be raised separately.
Please let us know if you have financial challenges and do
not let money stop you! Along with God, we're committed to
doing everything we can to help you get here. Check out our
website for more information

Our goal at YWAM Louisville is to see young men and women
like you fulfill their destiny in Christ, and to see the
nations reached for Him! Please feel free to call or
e-mail us with any questions. God bless you as you pursue
Him and His plan for you!
In Him,
