Race Day

We had a great speaker on Friday, I hope you all enjoyed it! Thank you Denise for setting that up! PLEASE be sure to send our guest a thank you note. It was very generous of Mr. Ratterree to take the time to speak with us (especially out in the cold rain.) Please let him know how much we appreciated the visit.

His address is:
Bob Ratterree
HCR 73
Mtn. Grove MO 65711

Also, I got pictures of most of our students sitting in the car. If you would like a picture, please email me for a copy.

Correction

Originally, I posted that we would meet 3rd Friday in November & 5th Friday in December and then back to normal in January.

For the next 3 months, we are now meeting the 3rd Friday of each month. I would really appreciate your feedback on something though: since we're meeting the 3rd Friday of these 3 months in a row, would you like to just finish off the last 3 months doing the same? We could then just state that we are meeting the 3rd Friday of every month and not confuse anyone by switching back to 4th Fridays in February. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other, my only concern was that someone might forget and try coming on the 3rd Friday in February.

Fourth Friday

This Friday is our next meeting. Our guest speaker for the younger and middle classes is Bobby Ratteree, a race car driver. If there are any racing fans in the family, this should be a huge treat! Be sure to come with questions. Info will also be available from Coaster Cars of the Ozarks, a local organization that encourages families to build and race their own derby cars for racers aged 7-14.

Scholastic Catalogues are available for anyone interested, just see Jenn.

Mom's Night Out

For an excuse to sit and visit with other mom's, I'm hosting a Home & Garden Party next Thursday night at 6:30 at my house. There is a chance it will also include a Tastefully Simple sampling party, but if not, there will still be finger foods available. This is open to anyone, not just homeschooling moms, so bring a friend and come hang out.

Directions: From Mcdonald's, drive South (toward square) until you get to E. 17th (just after China Grove on your left.) Turn left on 17th and drive until you reach Hovis (1st Baptist church will be on your left.) Turn right onto Hovis and drive until you reach E. 10th. Turn left onto 10th and drive until Fredrick. Turn RIGHT onto Fredrick. My house is on the corner of 10th and Fredrick.
