Here is some information for Home Educators in the Charlotte, Matthews & Cary areas - Many thanks to Karen @ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CCHNet/ for all the research on this and keeping me posted on the areas activities for Homeschoolers!
Remember, if you have information that you would like for me to post, please email me and I will edit it (for safety/privacy) and post it here. At HSB the goal is to help us network together all over the State and to get Homeschooling information out to every area.
If you have questions about Homeschooling in NC, feel free to email me here also, I do not always have the answers, but usually can help you find someone who does!

Monthly Homeschool Information meetings
Growing Scholars http://www.growings cholars.com/upcomingevents.htm
Call for seat. These now cost $10 and you get $10 coupon for spending in
store. These are worth many times that for a new homeschooler just getting
started. Two hours with Misty will put you many hours ahead on research.
For basic legal info see my new website:
http://www.CharlotteHomeschoolinfo. com
Parts are still under construction, however the Getting Started and NC Law
are done. Please feel free to pass this link onto to friends thinking about
homeschooling for a very basic intro.
It is helpful to simply browse the shelves at Growing Scholars (above) or
The Homeschool Room
http://www.thehomeschoolroom. net/
The workers at both stores are all homeschoolers and very helpful.
It is also helpful to browse used curriculum sales. You will see these come
through the list.
There is a big sale at Colonel Beatty Park in Matthews/Weddington this Friday, May 29th.
I am giving a high school workshop Tuesday, May 26th in Concord. Contact
Shannon Reichard [shannonreichard@ mac.com] for details.
