2009-2010 Membership Application
Thank you for your interest in Greater Waco Christian Home Educators (GWCHE)! We are a volunteer Christian support group dedicated to helping families who have chosen to educate their children at home.
Please read the About Us page for complete information about our organization.
The calendar year for GWCHE is August 1st to July 31st. We have 8 general meetings a year (August, September, October, January, February, March, April & May). General membership meetings are normally held on the third Thursday night of the month at Highland Baptist Church, 3014 Maple Ave., in Waco. Sign-in time is from 6:30-7:00 p.m. The sign-in begins at 6:30 p.m. and meetings start at 7:00 p.m.
Non-members are invited to come and observe one meeting before joining GWCHE. However, we ask that you join GWCHE if you plan to attend additional meetings. Dues will remain at the low price of $25 which allows you access to all GWCHE functions and includes a subscription to our monthly newsletter, The Big Red Apple.
Please note that there will no longer be a reduced fee for joining later in the year. Various activities and field trips are scheduled throughout the school year. Other benefits of membership include discount membership to the Home School Legal Defense Association and access to our office/resource library.
Membership Benefits
Every family receives a GWCHE membership card. The Teacher ID number is the code to the library. Also, the GWCHE group number may be used for a membership discount in the Home School Legal Defense Association (www.hslda.org). You may also use your card at some local stores for teacher discounts on classroom items.
A student ID is available at the beginning of each school year.
