Community, Freedom
Join
us for a dynamic and provocative day of ideas and discussion!
Saturday,
October 11, 2008
Park Avenue Congregational Church, 50 Paul Revere Rd., Arlington,
MA
Schedule
9:30 - 10:00: Registration
10:00 - noon: Welcome & Panel: Patchwork of Days What's
it like to actually homeschool your kids? How do philosophy and
reality intersect in the practical, day-to-day world of homeschooling?
Experienced homeschooling parents talk about their successes,
challenges, and the life of a home educator. This panel is designed
to cover frequently asked questions about homeschooling, while
providing inspiring testimony on the homeschooling lifestyle.
Panelists will represent a range of homeschooling approaches and
methodologies. Time will be set aside for audience questions.
noon - 1:30: Lunch & Focus Groups
1:30 - 3:30: Panel: Grown Homeschoolers "How do they
turn out?" is one of the perennial homeschooling questions.
Our panel of four homeschooled young adults helps address it.
They'll talk about homeschooling from the vantage point of the
kids, the experience of forging their life paths, and what it's
like to live in a mostly schooled society. Another perennial question
- "What about college?" -- is looked at through the
lens of homeschoolers representing a range of possible choices.
The session winds up with a Q&A with the audience.
Food: We will provide light refreshments. There are many
places to buy lunch a short walk away, or feel free to bring your
own non-messy food and drink.
Children: Because we are unable to make special accommodations
for children, we ask that you leave at home children who will
be as happy or happier there with a loving caregiver. Children
over 12 months old who accompany you will need to register, pay
the registration fee, and be supervised by you at all times.
Networking: Remember to bring cards to swap with people that
you want to keep in touch with.
Early Registration Discount!
Register by August 15 and get a 25% discount.
Envelope must be postmarked no later than August 15 to pay just
$15.00 per person. After August 15, pay $20 per person.

Invitation to The Homelearners' Fall Fair
The 17th
Annual Homelearners' Fall Fair will be held at the West Medford
Congregational Church in Medford. Homeschooling families are invited
to display and sell their crafts, or perform music, storytelling,
skits, dance, etc. This bright, welcoming space features good
acoustics and a large stage for performances.
The
event is being coordinated by a core group of volunteers. If you
wish to help, please call Milva McDonald at 781-648-5579.
We are
looking for fine quality crafts, kits and small gifts that sell
well to the general public. Good food will be sold at the event.
A note
to parents: Children can be discouraged easily if their crafts
don’t sell up to their expectations. They may take it personally.
Prepare your children for this possibility. Use it to discuss
marketing, demand, pricing, or other factors that will influence
sales. Call this an experiment to test the market and learn.
We are
looking for performers. Performers are an integral part of this
event. People come for the performances as much as for the crafts,
and more attendees benefit all. Would you like to perform? Are
you part of any performing group? (Magic, circus, music, dance,
gymnastics, drama, etc.) Would you or some of your group be interested
in performing at the Fair? Contact Milva at 781-648-5579.
Where:
West Medford Congregational Church, 400 High St., Medford
When:
Saturday, November 22, 2008; 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Vendor
Cost:
4 ft. @ $10
The
fair will be advertised in newspapers, magazines, homeschool newsletters,
and the internet.
There
will be no admission charged at the fair. We are planning this
to be a festive event with crafts for sale, demonstrations, entertainment,
music and good food. This is a wonderful opportunity for children
and families to learn entrepreneurial skills and experience a
larger sense of community. We hope you will join us.
For
applications contact Stephanie Griego at 781-646-4541 or GarciaArte@mac.com.
