Just thought I'd pass this on -- looks good! I'm going to try to call in on some of these for sure.

Dear Homeschool.com Product Tester:

Thank you for signing up to be a Product Tester for Homeschool.com. Many of you have already received notification that a product is on its way to you for evaluation. More products are coming in every day, being sent out to Testers throughout the summer, with our back-to-school awards going out the first week of October.

In addition to testing products from other companies, we would also be grateful if you would test our new homeschooling how-to classes. which we will be recording next week on a series of live conference calls. We apologize for the last minute notice, but we are scrambling to get these interviews recorded so that we can add them to our new homeschooling kits.

Here is the schedule for the interviews. Our guests are some of the top homeschooling experts in the country and we would like to have lots of homeschoolers on the calls so that our guests feel special.

The interviews take place as a phone-in conference call. We all dial into the same number, listen to the interview, and then you can ask our guest your personal questions. It's really a nice opportunity to personally speak with some of the leading voices in homeschooling.

Here is the telephone number and passcode for the calls:
Dial-in number: 1-507-726-3270
Passcode: 55095
