We’ve been podcast!

Hey everyone! I was interviewed by a wonderful gal named Meredith Eisenberg last week. She is running a website for events and activities for kids in Albuquerque. Her website is http://www.abqkidsonline.com/. If you click on podcast at the top you can listen to my interview with Meredith.

New Email Address

Many of you might remember, when we first started this group we used HomeschoolAbq as our website.  Shortly after that we voted as a group to become the Rio Grande Homeschoolers.  As such, I’ve updated our admin email address to reflect that change.  The new email address is admin@riograndehomeschoolers.com.  If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment below or email me.  Thank you for your understanding and patience as we grow and make changes to accommodate that growth!
