Are there any homeschool group events to celebrate School Choice week this year?

[Bambam]

School choice week is coming up next week. If I had seen it soon enough, we would be holding a Homeschooling 101 event in our town. As it is, our local group will be making signs, taking a picture (if the weather cooperates!), and inviting anyone who is interested in homeschooling to just come talk to the homeschoolers there. 

Are any other homeschool groups/organizations doing anything to let people know about this option for school choice?

(Disclaimer, I do not like the phrase School Choice because, at least in my state, it is being used to try to institute legislation that I believe to be detrimental to our freedom to homeschool. We already have the option to chose which schooling method we use - public, private, homeschool, charter. I do, however, want people to realize homeschooling is a valid choice.)

Never heard of it. Who made this up? (That sounds contentious--I mean, who organized and promotes this?)

Info can be found here. This is a big thing in our state (Texas) right now with various schools (charter mostly and some private) holding informational meetings, open houses, etc. Probably it is a big thing here due to legislation that will be filed soon.
