 We have 13 official families in PACE. Thank you for taking the time to sign up. Invite your friends who are considering homeschooling to any or all of the meetings. 
They can join for free by Oct. 6th (postponed from the original cut off of Oct. 1st since we are meeting that night). 

Be sure to renew your HSLDA memberships ASAP so we can maintain our group discount status. All of the above topics titles are taken from the Home Education 101 Mentor's Manual by Vicki Bentley. I will be facilitating the discussions but encourage others to share their experience/expertise in these areas.  This is just a spring board for our "formal meetings". 

I am prayerfully hoping this will be a blessing to all who participate.  

 

The only other thing missing is a meeting place for each of of these nights. A few of you stated on your application that you would be willing to host. 

Pick the topic you want to host and let me know ASAP so we can get the word out!!!! Remember you just provide the meeting place with our without refreshments. It can be a bring your own beverage and share a snack etc.  

Just let me know soon so we can send out the announcements in a timely manner.  Thanks again and welcome back to another school year!!!!!!

 

Grace & Peace,

Lori Chapman
