Encountering Poverty

by Lynn Phillips, Poverty Encounter at Children’s Hunger Fund
Have you ever heard your children say, “I’m starving,” “there’s nothing to eat,” or “I don’t like this meal!”? Do you wish your children had a greater appreciation for what they have? As a homeschool mother of four, it pained me to hear my boys’ lack of gratitude for all the Lord had given them. One of the reasons we homeschooled was to teach our kids about who God is and that they can play a part in His plans. My husband and I wondered how we could open our children’s eyes to the abundance they had before them.

These classes are not drop-in classes. Signing up in advance is required. If you sign up for a series, your classmates are counting on you to be there for all the classes other than illness or other unavoidable/unforeseen circumstances, because these classes are most enjoyable when everyone has a partner.

How to Sign up: Click Here for sign up sheet
Dress Code:
We don’t like having to ask people to change, so please help out your fellow moms and follow the dress code carefully. If you are having trouble, or are unsure about anything, reach out and ask questions or ask to borrow something. Carefully read the dress code here in pdf form: 80s Dance Visual Dress Code 2024 or here in Google Docs to review the dress code for this dance.
Basic Dance Etiquette. Please go over this with your dancers:
For Boys:

Ask a variety of girls to dance. They are waiting for you to ask.
You may be nervous asking a girl to dance. That is ok. She is probably nervous waiting to be asked.
Offer her your hand or your arm and escort her onto the dance floor
When the dance is over, escort her off the floor and thank her for the dance.

For Girls:

If a boy asks you to dance, graciously accept his offer unless you need to rest or take a breather, in which case you may say “no thank you”. If you decline an offer to dance, you will rest for the duration of that song.
If you stand with your friends in a closed circle, it is hard and nerve wracking for a boy to ask you to dance. Make yourself available by opening up your circle.

For Both:

Every dance has first time attendees. Make an effort to reach out to them and include them in your conversations.
Not everyone knows how to dance…that is ok. Everyone has to begin sometime. Fortunately, at this dance, everyone will get a cha cha lesson to help you get started.
A Sadie Hawkins dance is when a girl can ask a boy to dance. The boys are to do the asking unless we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance.
If you decline an offer to dance, that means you will be sitting out for the entire dance
Please listen and follow instructions during the dance lesson without too much chatting.

For Parent Chaperones:
During the lesson from 7-7:30 if you are not taking the lesson, please refrain from chatting much. Even low voices, when there are a lot of them, can get loud. It is difficult for the teacher to compete with the additional noise.
Volunteers Help the event run smoothly. Please consider signing up for a volunteer help job at the dance.

Summer Concerts at the Park Meet-up
2024-07-11 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-07-18 19:00 - 20:30, 2024-07-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Constitution Park, 1287 Paseo Camarillo, Camarillo, CA, 93010
The Camarillo Community Band’s 2024 Summer Concert series will take place on July 11, 18, 25, and August 1 at 7:00 PM at Constitution Park at the intersection of Carmen Drive and Paseo Camarillo. Presented by the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Parks District, the concerts will mark the band’s 39th season.
So, let’s meet up! We pack an easy picnic dinner, some low-back camp chairs, and make a date of it. We will be sitting between the parking lot and the bubble machine. Please join us! I can’t make it August 1 due to the Summer Dance, but any of you who aren’t attending the dance, please enjoy the concert. 🙂
You can bring a picnic dinner, too, or just plan on dessert. Last year they had Mr. Softee each week! I expect they may do that again.
It’s a very family and (well-behaved) dog friendly environment, plus the music is so fun. Children are invited up to conduct a march. Everyone is encouraged to vote for their favorite piece which will be played at the next concert.
I played flute and piccolo with this group for several years, along with my then-teenage children who played saxophone and clarinet. It was a lovely time.
It’s a great and fun way to foster an appreciation for music while participating in a quintessential summertime small-town America fun.

These are for all ages.
These are all Wednesday evenings, 7pm, so you have time for dinner and driving. Each night you attend, you will have a chance to have your family enter a drawing to take place after the last meeting for a chance to win a gift certificate to whichever of the four ice cream shops you choose. Each visit increases your odds. 🙂
August 7 – Coastal Cone in the Ventura Harbor: The harbor can be cool in the evenings, so please bring layers. We should try for a group photo at the big harbor sign overlooking the water.
August 14 – Little Calf Creamery in Thousand Oaks: This is a lovely cafe as well. You might even want to go early to have dinner there, too. There isn’t really any place to play, but there is a generous outside patio, so depending on the weather, let’s grab some outside seating. I expect it will be cool enough by that time of the evening.
August 21 – Tifa Gelato and Chocolate in Camarillo: Yes, this is a luxury ice cream, to be sure. If you have not yet tried it, let me assure you it is delicious! There is no place to play, but there is a nice breezeway alongside the shop the kids enjoyed last year.
August 28 – Ojai Ice Cream in Ojai: Libby Park is across the street. Last year we had a great time at the park after grabbing our cones.

Volleyball Clinic/Games
2024-08-09 14:00 - 16:00 | Pitts Ranch Park, 1400 Flynn Road, Camarillo, CA
ACHEV Dad, Kevin Adair hosts this volleyball clinic for ACHEV kids 10 and up. We continue playing through the year, and if you log enough hours, you can count this for High School credit.
This is for fun, exercise, and to learn how to play the game, this is not hyper competitive. Kevin would love to do drilling and teach the kids more technique if they want to learn. So if you want to get better at serving, setting, etc. ask Mr. Adair to help you.
Who: ACHEV kids ages 10 and up. You don’t have to know how to play, Mr. Adair will teach you.
Drop off is okay for this event. If you are dropping off, please make sure we have your cell number in case we need to reach you.
We start at 2, and it’s really helpful if everyone gets there about the same time.
Please rsvp via email bonnieadair@verizon.net and make sure I have your email address and cell number in case I need to reach you.
