Here's a comment from one of our past attendees.
I attended the "Getting Started" workshop along with my mom and daughter, and wanted to say thank you for everything you are doing to support and encourage homeschooling in Maine. God must be very pleased with your efforts on His behalf. The workshop couldn't have been any more affirming for me, and really brought my mom in on the big picture in a way I never could have done myself.
Donations to HOME’s ministry are welcomed and appreciated. Contact the HOME office for more information, directions and/or to register at:

Where veterans and new homeschooling moms come together to share and minister!
Saturday Nov 8th, 2008
10 AM to 4 PM
at the HOME Office in Hope, ME
Cost: $10.00 per person (include with registration)
Everyone needs a day off - especially homeschooling moms. Whether you are a new homeschooler or a veteran, there is something at the mom's retreat that will encourage and refresh you!
Each year brings with it new challenges and issues to address in our homeschooling. Come and share these serious issues in an atmosphere of warmth, good humor and hope. We will have several veteran homeschool speakers. We know that homeschooling moms need a small group of like minded people where they can express their feelings, frustrations and victories. It is our hope that this year's small gathering will give you the individual attention you may need, or that you may be able to minister to another mom who needs your words of encouragement.
We would like to encourage you to come with another homeschooling mom and have an overnight time of rest. If you stay in the surrounding Camden area you can plan a walk along the harbor, browse in local shops and visit the wonderful Owl and Turtle Bookstore. For accommodations visit http://www.camdenme.org
Parking space is extremely limited at the HOME office. If it is possible please consider carpooling!
Please bring a bag lunch. Hope general store nearby offers pizza, subs, etc.
Due to the Convention being earlier (1st weekend in March) there are no plans for a February Mom's retreat this year. Please plan to attend this Mom's retreat as it is the only one this school year.
To register please send your name, address, email, phone number and payment to:
