          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." 

• Pre-registration is required. Below is a printable registration form. Your form can be mailed or scanned in an email. Or register online above! Contact HOME with questions or for more information.   

• For a small donation, pre-registered attendees will receive a HOME Beginner's Bundle upon arrival, or a link to a printable bundle. Your bundle will include a Beginner's Handbook, HOME's Quickstart Guide, Helpful Hints, a sample HOME unit study, and much more!
