How: This is a FAIR EXCHANGE SWAP and its open to every person in the Las Vegas Valley. It will be much bigger than last time, there are 4 other groups that have asked to join us in making the swap bigger and the media will be covering this swap!

How does it work?  You bring your gently used clothes, shoes, socks, coats, hats, belts, and purses etc… we count them, and you can exchange them for an even number. 

And this time we are also including gently used household items and toys too!!!You can even donate books and used curriculum! 

All remaining items after the swap will be given to charity.

If you would like just to donate or give your items in advance, please email us at lvvhsn@gmail.com , we will be picking up items from March 1^st until March 18^th.

If you would like to volunteer please email us at lvvhsn@gmail.com

Why: LVVHSN is a nondenominational, nonprofit pending group. Our purpose is fun, friendship, and giving back to our community.

The next few days of this week will be like this and then the weeks after will have things added to them. My homeschool group, Las Vegas Valley Homeschool Group is having a community service project called Adopt a Grandparent that we will be involved in.  What we have done is adopted a retirement home with the intention of making sure every resident there will receive a Valentine’s Day card on Valentine’s Day.  All the cards will be made with love, kindness, and happiness. Would you like to join us? Drop me an email at lvvhsn@gmail.com and I will send you the details on where to send your Vday card before Vday.

Besides our homeschooling and this really fun community service activity, my oldest son will be headed to Hollywood to meet with casting agents in the near future, he is also going to be involved in another community play, Damn Yankees.

Well I need to go, my son is playing Clair de Lune and I would rather not hear the keyboard while he is playing.. Ck him out at www.broadwayweststudio.com or www.adamsimonkrist.com. He is indeed headed for bigger things..

Well gg

See ya next time..

Yes times are tighter, it’s tighter for like 90% of us, but we still need to find a way to help each other especially now.  One way to do this is to create an Angel Tree with a group of friends.  An angel tree is adopting a family or families for the holidays. 

My homeschool group Henderson Homeschoolers and my nonprofit homeschool group, Las Vegas Valley Homeschool Network are doing this for December. We have heard of a family that is having an extremely hard time right now.  Mr. and Mrs. Smith (obviously not their real name) have two sons ages 9 and 10, the younger one with autism . Mom homeschools the second child because our district is lacking in qualified special education teachers and the older one goes to school.  Recently, Mr.and Mrs. Smith just had a third child, their newbie arrived early and is currently in NICU at a hospital across town.  Because of one car and no extra cash for bus travel, Mrs. Smith relies on friends to go see their baby across town.  Then the perverbial shoe dropped, Mr. Smith’s work hours were severely cut and they now have barely enough cash to put food on the table. How do you tell your kids that Christmas isn’t coming??? 

Our group wanted to help the Smith family. With each family giving as little as $10 and pooling it together, we will be able to get a gift card to a Walmart for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The Smith family will have a Christmas.  Now how about taking the idea one step forward and creating your own Angel trees?
