We will be having another one on August 17th at the same location, a 'Not Back to School' Fair'!
If you have any questions email me at NMHomeschoolCommunityUpdates@gmail.com or call (505) 792-4110--Thanks, Tabitha Orr, Homeschool Mom, Executive Director, NM Homeschool Community
As always this event is FREE to attend!
Here are some of the resources that are in store for attendees to this event please pass along the event brochure, the email, or the attachment as this is a free event and it can only benefit our community. The general public is allowed to attend and I am hoping to show resources and cooperation within our growing community! OK enough suspense this is so exciting:
We have 16 families that are signed up to swap and sell their used materials!
Craft table for the kids! Children are the responsibility of their parents and should not be left unattended as this event and the community center are open to the general public!
Come meet the Taylor Ranch Fire Department when they bring their truck by between 10-11AM!!

2. "We The People: The Citizen and the Constitution" - a fall semester civics class for high school students (seniors, junior and mature sophomores). The culminating activity is a competitive simulated congressional hearing to be held at the Round House.
3. Science Olympiad - the Albuquerque homeschool team has won the State competition and progressed to the National Contest for the last two years. This competition is for students from 6th thru 12th grades. Unlike Science Fair, this is a team effort and includes events in many areas of science.

Dale Taylor, Rio Grande Early Music ddt@rgem.biz
I am a builder / performer / teacher of recorders and other early wind instruments. I also do programs on the instruments themselves (I've guest lectured on this at Texas A &M University, where I bring about 50 different Renaissance and baroque instruments), music of different periods, and the physics of music.
I teach recorder and other early instruments privately and in groups. I can also teach an assortment of modern instruments (especially trumpet / cornet, on which I majored in college, and trombone), as well as coach ensembles of modern instruments or period ones, or mixes.
I can also do lecture / demos on instruments and historical issues tied to early performance, or lecture / hands-on on things like basic musical accoustics and physics.
