Top 5 States: Tsunami of Hawaiian Recruits!
Mon Mar 03, 08 9:06 pm
As of March 3, 2008, the HSA membership roles indicate that the greatest homeschool graduate population concentrations are in the following states:
- #1 Missouri.
- #2 California.
- #3 Texas.
- #4 Hawaii.
- #5 Oregon.
For a real-time report of the number of homeschoolers in each state see the following:

HSA has seen a breathtaking and unexpected turn of events in the Top 5 States report! Though last month
Hawaii (#4) was the decided underdog with only 2 graduates, this month
Hawaii (#4) has jumped to the #4 position with no warning! HSA is very excited to welcome so
many Hawaiian homeschool graduates.
What can explain this sudden surge in membership from one of the least likely states, as dramatic as any eruption of
Hawaii's famous volcanoes, you ask? Only one possible name came to our minds...
Josh Van Vleet. HSA's Top 5 States' crack investigative team easily verified his masterminding of this monumental campaign.
Josh Van Vleet has proven his almost fanatical devotion to HomeschoolALUMNI.org not only by traveling tirelessly throughout the Hawaiian islands, shouting the news from milk crates on street corners in an ever-hoarser voice, but also by offering a $100 bonus out of his own pocket to each and every Hawaiian HSAer! That's right...if you haven't heard, and you've got a Hawaiian zip code on your HSA profile,
you are eligible for Josh Van Vleet's amazing offer. Contact him via his PM box
here to collect your sign-up bonus!
Due to this historic contribution to HSA, Josh Van Vleet will receive the enviable "HSA Recruiter Of the Year" T-shirt, including a lifetime supply of pinko and pickles.
In other news,
Oregon (#5), with 114 members, has soared past its old adversary,
Colorado (#7), with 109 members. Still, being only 5 graduates behind,
Colorado (#7) has a good chance at entering the Top 5 next month, as do the nail-bitingly close
Illinois (#6) with 110 members and
Tennessee (#8 ) with 108 members. Will any of these three states earn the few graduates necessary to climb past
Oregon (#5) and establish their foothold in the Top 5? Anything is possible...right, Josh?
Next month...will Josh Van Vleet make good on his pledged bonuses, or will he weasel out on his promises and cause the 100+ recruits of
Hawaii (#4) to leave en masse, in protest? Will
Illinois (#6),
Colorado (#7), or
Tennessee (#8 ) successfully scramble for the coveted #5 position? Who will win the Gold Medal for most graduates recruited in the month of March?
Check back for all these answers and more in next month's Top Five Report. Until then, go tell the homeschool graduates in your area about HSA. We hope to see your state next in the Top 5!

^Amber OVT:
For some reason, the zip code that Josh sent out in the PM doesn't come up in the search although it does place you in the ocean in the HI vicinity. So only those of us who picked out our own zip code show up when you search.

I don't understand it. I sent out everyone's $100 in the mail on the 29th, but they were all returned to me. Something about all of them having the wrong zip codes or something...
Oh well, at least I tried.

Wow, Josh, below that rough exterior I knew you were a generous guy

When can we expect our $100? I could use it for a new camera.

LOL @ Josh
I think you should try again! That $100 would sure come in handy!
Oh, and congradulations on your Pinko and Pickles!

|
Oh, well, if the address is all that's wrong, I'd be happy to send you my correct zip code. Now, when will I get the $100?

Woah... luah LOL! You guys are hilarious! (and somewhat nefarious! )
I love reading your reports Emilie! I got a few stares and almost fell out my chair laughing as I read this!

Hey Josh, don't send mine in the mail. I'll pick it up in person. Cuts down on the confusion of which zip code to use.
