FINALLY:  A TYPICAL DAC SCHEDULE ~ & ~ OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

PLEASE PRE-REGISTER …

  • Space at the State Capitol is very limited so you will need to pre-register for this event.
  • And remember to preregister for CHN-led Capitol Tours, also.

PRE-SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH EACH OF YOUR LEGISLATORS …

  • We strongly encourage you to meet with your legislators, but CHN cannot schedule these meetings for you.
  • So, well in advance, schedule a meeting through their offices. For their contact information click here.
  • Because they are very busy, meetings generally last about fifteen minutes.
  • But legislators are always happy to meet the whole family, so bring your well-behaved children.
  • Tell them how much you enjoy the freedom to homeschool and how homeschooling has had a positive impact on you and your family.
