Northeast Indiana LIFE is a small inclusive group open to all
homeschoolers in or around NE Indiana, regardless of race or religion.
Right now we have members from Ft. Wayne to LaGrange, IN. Our
philosophy is that our children's education is of the utmost importance.
We are mostly an email support group for parents to post upcoming
events, discuss curricula, or any other topic or idea, but we
occasionally get together for informal meetings at parks, libraries,
the zoo, etc... so that the children can interact socially and
learn about others, as well as their surroundings.

DISCUSSION LISTS
There
are several good regional and statewide e-lists for homeschoolers
throughout the state of Indiana. Because of the always changing
nature of many lists, it's hard to keep up with them. If you are
interested in finding a more specific or focused e-list, we suggest
you search YahooGroups.
You might also want to ask around on the IndianaHomeschoolers
List for recommendations. IndianaHomeschoolers is the largest
networking e-list in the state, and the best place to find answers
to most all homeschooling questions.
