July/August 2011 Newsletter

Hope your summer is going super!  
Here are a few updates for you all.





AFFIDAVITS and OBJECTIVES DUE
If you haven't already, get in your affidavits and objectives 
by Aug. 1st.
Apparently, the prothonotary office in the courthouse is no longer notarizing them.

Per Virginia, As of this time last year, Crystal at Dick's Gas Station in Youngsville and Rick Dies at the car dealership next to Richard's Restaurant on Rt 6 were both doing school affidavits.
District Magistrate Laura Bauer will notarize homeschooling affidavits for free.  Her office is at 1585 Market Street Extension, just across from Big Joe's.  Her hours are 8:30 to Noon and 1 to 4:30 PM,  Monday thru Friday.  You can call ahead at 723-6750, to be sure she's not busy hearing a case in her court, which is in the same building.

The 2011 W. Brent McKown 
Learn-to-Fish Day 
This FREE event for children is planned for Saturday, Aug 20th, at Farnsworth Fish Hatchery.
Breakfast is provided by McDonald's at 8am sharp, followed by a Safety Lesson and then the fishing can begin!
The stream is stocked that morning and the brand new fishing equipment is given out to each child aged 2 to 15 that has registered.  When the fishing is over, the children get to take their new, free equipment home with them!

Call Derek McKown at 489-3110 to register your children. Also call that number if you have any donations to make to the program.  I just spoke with Derek on 7/21 and they still had 35 openings.
