October 24, 2008 Cider Mill

Many of our favorite family memories were made here at Yates! This year, we have chosen Yates as our Cider Mill to visit, rain or shine. We can stay mainly indoors if needed.

RSVP with tupperwaretricia@aol.com, with the amount attending, including parents. $4 per person. If parents or babes in arms are participating, $4. If they are not participating, they are free & can wait nearby. Please bring cash, for ease.

We meet at 2:00 pm, and enjoy the beauty around Yates (see below). Tour starts at 2:30, and lasts about 1/2 hour. After, we are free to enjoy the surrounding area.

Tours include a short movie that highlights some behind-the-scenes operations at the cider mill. Each group also has the opportunity to watch the cider being pressed. See the cider being made, taste it fresh from our press to you. The tour ends with a donut and a small apple jug of cider for each person!

Fudge Shoppe, ice cream, apples, scrumptious donuts, etc. available to purchase. Two baby goats, beautiful grounds and River flows through (feed the ducks!), and various trails available to enjoy for free.

Subway Revisited.....Costco 'questions' homeschoolers

Awhile back, Subway had a writing contest and specifically said homeschoolers were not welcome. They didn't know who they were dealing with. Since that time they have had another contest and did include homeschoolers.

Costco has decided to 'join the debate.' WHO??? Costco..you know the premier homeschooling company..NOT! They sell groceries, home-goods.... They have decided to do a 'poll' to see if homeschoolers should be 'certified.' If this was in 'Redbook' or even Good Housekeeping I can see the point. But "Costco magazine???" And they are either dishonest or out dated because they do not have the most current information on the California homeschool ruling. So vote...and leave comments.

Click HERE and go to page 17. (There is a pages tab on the top that makes it easy.) On the side you can vote and there is also an email to leave comments. I noticed that in the comments section the vote 'totals' were very outdated. Include that information in any comments you choose to leave. Can you say Sam's Club?

You can email Costco at debate@costco.com

If you are interested in reading more on HSLDA which is quoted in the article, please feel free to see their website HERE.
