Michigan Homeschool Support Groups
YahooGroup: Michiganhomeschool is not a group to join if you homeschool or are thinking of homeschooling in the state of Michigan. Why not? The group is very spammy and emails to the owner have gone unanswered. Read more at how can we notify Yahoo when a group has been abandoned. Find Michigan Homeschool Support Groups listed By County or Multiple County. I am in the process of updating them, so please send me an email if you have a group not listed or your group’s info has changed.

Sterling Heights Great Clothes Swap
“What’s a clothes swap?” This is a totally FREE event, with NO obligation to bring anything or take anything.
