Can I pose an alternative idea, what about NYC in early spring? If he hates cities, he may detest NYC at Christmas. I love cities but hate the Christmas/New Years crowds in the city. Yet I’m always antsy to go somewhere at the end of winter. The juxtaposition of those doldrums and NYC is magical. Find time for outdoor activities such as a ferry to the Stature of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park or the High Line so he can see more than city.

DC Volunteer Lawyers Project has legal aid clinics and other remote opportunities

I love the micro slimfold. It’s Tyvek, ultra slim and light. Comes in patterns.

That is very weird that that kind of form would be collected by volunteers. Our school would definitely have that information submitted directly by parents online or possibly collected by the teachers, but there’s no way any parent volunteer would have their hands on a form that contained parents’ income info.

Anything top loading. Everyone I asked when we were replacing ours said they went with front-loading wished they could go back to top loading.

I just never hear of it any more. It’s all loans-loans-loans. If you get two or three thousand dollar scholarships (spending god forbid two hours on each) that’s two or three thousand less you might have to borrow. I have read comments elsewhere that people discourage applying for scholarships because it reduces the amount you can borrow. Isn’t the point?

I myself never applied for any kind of financial aid because we could afford college. So yeah, I am not familiar with the process. I’m trying to learn, however, so thanks so much.
