In April 2002, we had a rally in front of Albany's government offices. We also had an appointment with a Legislator to ask for his support in two laws that will benefit homeschoolers in New York. So far these laws passed in two offices, we still need one more office to succeed. We are hopeful that for the school year 2003-2004, the only requirement will be the Letter of Intent.
