Additional Information

Here is a wonderful opportunity to let your representatives know that there are a WHOLE bunch of us:)  We're watching and listening and voting!  It was the Homeschool Moms from the past who worked diligently to get the laws in place for Homeschoolers of NC.  What a legacy to follow!  Let's not be content with where we are, but be proactive in protecting the rights that have been established and building relationships with those who are new to their offices. As well as those still in place.  Bring some goodies and thank yous for their service to  the public.

This does not have to be an all day event, but if you want to talk with representatives, morning is the best time!
