<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have patrons asking to learn more about
homeschooling? <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am from the Oregon Home Education Network
(OHEN), <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";">the
state's first and largest, inclusive, nonprofit, volunteer-run
organization, dedicated to the support of all of Oregon’s homeschooling
families. </span> <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Andrea Milano suggested that I contact you and let
you know about the services that we offer:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Homeschooling 101, where a panel of 2-3 experience homeschoolers
present
a handout of local information on homeschooling and answer questions.
The presentation takes about 1.5 hours, and consists of introductions,
a general overview of homeschooling in Oregon, and a lengthy question
and answer period. The presentation is free. We have offered this
program in libraries in Beaverton, Fairview, Hillsboro, Milwaukie,
Portland, and Tigard within the past two years to audiences of 15-45
people. Although all of our recent presentations have been within the
Portland metro area, we are willing to present anywhere in the state.<br>
