Rest assured that we appreciate all our members, and want everyone who desires to, to be able to continue in MArCH.  This unsubscription is an administrative necessity as every year we have roughly a 10% turnover in membership and rarely do people notify us that they are moving on, they usually just don't renew their membership.  Since the deadline for removal is May 15th, and several emails were sent out as reminders to our unrenewed members, after a 15 day grace period, we purge the list for the new year.

Did we make a mistake? Have you already renewed your membership for the upcoming year?  If you have please verfiy your payment with our Memberhsip Director, Melissa Braughton at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Below is a list of frequently asked questions about the MArCH Building Fund. 

1. Who is overseeing the whole project? – The board will have ultimate oversight in determining how to raise money and how to spend the money.  However, the goal of the board has always been to look for people with talents in certain areas and solicit their help.  We realize that a broad base of support and help is needed for MArCH to be successful.  When we collect enough funds to go forward with our plans, we will seek a group of people with the unique talents to oversee the project.  Right now we are only in the fundraising phase of the project and we have established a fundraising committee made up of Rick and DeAnna Stone, Teri Hunt, Marie Jackson, Donisia Forrester, and Dwayne Gandy.
2. Where will the money be kept – bank? Investments? – and who will be responsible for it?  - For now we plan on keeping the money in the bank.  In the past we have placed some of our resources in a CD.  As we accumulate funds we plan on pursuing that option in the future.  Marie Jackson is a CPA and will be working closely with Tina Cook to oversee the funds.
3. If we end up not using it, what will be done with the money?  We are confident this money will be used for a building.  If we don’t collect enough money to build or buy a building, we can always lease a facility.  If that is not a viable option, then we would have to consider giving it back to the group via free tuition, field trips, lunches, etc.
4. Is the plan to buy an existing building, or is it to buy land and build from scratch?  We will look at both options.  We had an opportunity to go in with another group, but were unable to consider it at that time because we lacked the funds.  We might partner with other groups to buy a building and have access multiple days a week.
5. If we do obtain a building, where will the money for the taxes, insurance, utilities, upkeep, etc come from?  - There won’t be taxes because we are a non-profit group.  We do realize that owning a building will necessitate monthly expenses.  We are currently looking for fundraisers that will give us consistent, residual income.  In addition we will consider renting the facility to other home school groups, churches, and businesses.
