FLIGHT offers an email list to facilitate communication among the homeschooling community.

What is an email list? An email list is a group of people interested in the same topic (in this case, homeschooling). Instead of emailing a group of people by entering their individual addresses into your email "to" box, you instead enter the list address to mail to all of the list members at once. When you email the list, then all members of the list receive a copy of the email, as if you'd addressed it directly to them.

Mailing To the List Members

To send an email to all list subscribers, address your email to .

You must join the list before you can successfully email the list members.

Joining the List

In order to protect the privacy of our members, and avoid unsolicited junk mail, the FLIGHT list is a private mailing list. Joining is a simple process:

1. Email your subscription request (details below).
2. Patiently wait for your request to be processed by a real person!

To request to join the list, click here to email the following information.

• Your name
• Your mailing address
• A statement that you are a homeschooling family in the Cedar Rapids area

If clicking here to send your subscription request via email doesn't work, send your request directly to

• The purpose of the list is to facilitate communication among local homeschooling families.
• Use the list to inform us of homeschooling events of interests, such as field trips and activity reminders.
• Use the list to ask questions or seek recommendations about curriculum options.
• Prayer requests are encouraged. However, please keep the requests directly related to you. For instance, "Please pray for my son" and "Please pray for my friend Carol" are OK. However, "Please pray for a friend of my friend" and "Please pray for a missionary that I read about on a Web site" are not directly related to you. And, of course, be sensitive to any confidentiality issues; often it is sufficient to provide only a few details.
• Information about your home business is OK as long as you don't overdo it. Two or three emails a year are plenty unless you have a service of particular and direct interest to homeschoolers.
• Some people don't have fast Internet access, so large file attachments that you might be able to send in only a few minutes might take hours for others to download. So, instead of sending pictures or videos, send us a link to where we can see your pictures or videos. (Many Web sites provide free photo albums.) This also helps keeps the cost of this mailing list down.
• Consider whether to send any replies directly to the email author or to the list. Email the author when a private reply is best; email the list when your response might be of general interest.
