D. CAHE Activity Planning

                         CAHE encourages members to plan activities for all to enjoy. When planning an activity, please keep in mind the following guidelines:

                           1.     All activities planned under the CAHE name are subject to Leadership's approval.

                           2.     Activities should require a reasonable amount of time and resources from those participating.

                           3.     Activities should follow all of the guidlelines listed above, and should not violate commonly held biblical principles and morals.

                           4.     Please use persons outside of CAHE to judge fairs, contests, etc.

 

Let us keep in mind the reputation we want to establish in public. We want to retain a good name for ourselves as homeschoolers, as well as for our group. We can accomplish that together by following these guidelines.

 

2 Cor. 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
