This is a free event, sponsored by Hillside Education, but we welcome donations to defray the cost of food, etc. You can donate on the day of the event. Thank you! I always intend for moms to be able to come and not worry about bringing a dish to share or having to do anything extra — just come and be pampered. However, we are planning to have quiche for lunch this time, and if you would like to donate a pan of it, please let me know. (Let me know if you need a nondairy option available.)
BOOK SWAP: If you have used books to give away or to sell, please bring them and we will have an area set aside for you to display them. If you are selling, please provide an envelope into which other moms can place their payments.
Hillside book sale: All books discounted. (This helps defray the cost of the event)
RSVP using the link in the email I sent, or email mhgargoyle@gmail.com

Local Homeschooler List:
At last year’s event, someone requested a list of everyone’s contact information be made and sorted by areas, so that someone might know who was homeschooling in her area. This list would be shared only with the moms who attend or agree to have their name shared. If you would like to have your information shared on that list, please send me a note with your name, email address, and general location.
