Book Sale

My friends, I have been homeschooling 10 years and have accumulated a ton of curricula and resources for K-high school and it is time, time,  time for me to clear the shelves.

On Saturday, March 10th, I will be having a sale.  
From 10am to 3:00 at my home.
120 Fresh Pond Road, East Falmouth, Ma

For the sake of ease, I am making a (huge) free table, a $1 table, a $5 table a $10 table and a $20 table. 
There will be a ton of stuff on each. 
I am doing it this way because to price each piece and cart it about and back disheartens me no end.



Please note, the free table will have a great many of things donated by other homeschoolers at the end of the PACE curriculum sales to bless other homeschooler with.  That was their intended purpose and will be there as such.

Feel free to let me know if there is something you are looking for specifically and I can put it aside for you if I have it and it is one of the items going.  

Blessings, 
Lizzie

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!!!!!!
