announce new HBLN activities that are being set up;

invite families to join ongoing HBLN activities;

offer lessons, classes, workshops, meetings, chat nights, and field trips for HBLN families;

look for nearby HBLN families to meet with informally;

We have a separate chat group for HBLN members. Members may use our chat group to exchange informal messages with other HBLN members, to buy-sell-swap learning materials, to ask specific and general questions about homeschooling, to share information about community events, etc.
