Help 4-H and Save Money!


Have I got a deal for you! You can save money and help kids at the same time. (Scroll down a few paragraphs if you want to skip the saving money part and just help kids.)

I'm offering The Catholic Homeschool Companion for $5 off, plus, for every book sold between now and May 31st, I'll donate another $5 to 4-H. Click HERE to order (Paypal and credit cards).

As my faithful readers know, my two oldest children made the Michigan 4-H Shooting Sports Team along with five other homeschooled teens from our local club, and I got volunteered as Fundraising Coordinator. (I have cool business cards and everything!)

Sending seven teenagers, two coaches, and a chaperone to South Dakota is an expensive proposition. The training and ammunition costs alone are astronomical. However, the kids have risen to the occasion. They're doing pop can drives, giving presentations to local gun clubs, and so on (plus practicing almost daily). So far, they've raised $4,000 of the needed $9,000. We're almost halfway there.

Now, I'm doing my little part. Buy a book (makes a great Mother's Day gift!), save some money, and help kids. You can't get a better deal than that!

Oh, by the way, if you want to donate but already own a copy of The Catholic Homeschool Companion, you can still help out. Take a look at the sidebar on your right, at the top. There's a Paypal button for donations, including credit cards.

Addendum: If you prefer making your donation by mail, please email me, for the address.

Maureen, could you post a mailing address (PO Box or whatever) so that people could also send checks, if they wanted to? Just a thought!

Never mind! I just clicked on the brochure link and saw the mailing address there! :-)

Maureen,
I want to thank you for the book; it arrived in Germany in just 4 days (of course then I had to find the time to read). Today is a gorgeous sunny day and I read half the book while sitting on my balcony. It is wonderful; exactly the inspiration I need as St Albert the Great Academy reopens its doors in August (after a year of being shutdown).
Thank you.
Renee
