Hello Everyone!
Just a quick reminder about Legislature Day tomorrow (Tuesday December 8th). It’s not too late to decide to come…the more the merrier. Register if possible. Give the kids a break and come to the Legislature…an educational field trip worth attending. We have over 85 kids coming!! Please make an effort to come…be part of a history making event. There is a special presentation to all MLA’s in New Brunswick on behalf of HENB.
Blessings to all
See you tomorrow

Dear Fellow Home Educators,
Just 1 week from today is our Legislature Day. Come and join us as we enjoy a tour of the legislature, observe the opening and listen to the floor discussions of the day. Your attendance is appreciated as we represent home educating families in the province of New Brunswick.
Many people still have misconceptions about home educating and wonder “Is it really working?”, “Is it really legal?” Does home education create good citizens? Are they happy with their lives? Is it only for the wealthy and educated?
By organizing this event, HENB presents home educating to our MLA’s. HENB has made special arrangements to give each MLA a packet of information about home educating in Canada that will include a personal letter and an informational brochure about HENB. Each MLA will also receive a mug and plate of Christmas cookies with an attached card with the Christmas story. Imagine all 56 MLA’s and the house speaker receiving the story of the birth of Christ with the salvation message. This is an outreach you can be apart of. By attending this event, you show our MLA’s that home educators are real people, and a real part of their constituency.
As a reminder, we do have over 65 children registered (and 31 parents) to come to the Legislature already and would love for you and your family to come as well. Come join in the fun we would love to have at least 90 children present. Help make that happen!
The upcoming Legislature Day, is on Tuesday December 8, 2009. Please email info@henb.org to advise us how many children and how many adults are coming.
Some things to note:
*Please note adults need a piece of ID

The December flyers are currently shown on the website.
Although the Nov. orders have not yet arrived, Mary Beth would like to recieve any Dec. orders by Dec. 6th (next Sunday) so they can arrive before Christmas! Check out the specials and see if there is anything you might want to get and she will e-mail you as soon as they arrive.
The evening will begin with a presentation by the MHE Youth Choir and singing some carols.
Following this, we will have a chance to admire the art
work of the homeschool students and enjoy some refreshments. Come out to begin the festive Christmas season with your family!!

Just a quick note to advise you that there will be no HENB buses going to the Legislature. There was just not enough interest in the bus ride.
As a reminder we do have 60 children registered to come to the Legislature already and would love for you and your family to come as well. Come join in the fun we would love to have at least 90 children present. Help make that happen!
We are going on December 8th!!
Please email me at info@henb.org to advise me you are coming and how many adults and children.
Thanks
Jodie
The postal rates that apply to the shipment of books between libraries are currently very low thanks to the Library Book Rate. Since 1939, it has been the backbone of library resource sharing and interlibrary loans in Canada.
This partnership between the federal government, Canada Post and Canadian libraries allows libraries to send books through the mail with rates low enough that libraries can absorb the costs of shipping. The Library Book Rate gives us access to many more books than our local library can hold from many other libraries within New Brunswick and all for free!
The Library Book Rate agreement is currently under review by the federal government and Canada Post. For the last few years the agreement has been reviewed and renewed on a yearly basis and the existing agreement is scheduled to end at the end of December 2009. Proposed Bill C-322 will guarantee the future of the Library Book Rate by making it part of Canada Post’s Universal Service Obligations/mandate.
As Canadian citizens, we are shareholders of Canada Post and have the right to ask that the Library Book Rate partnership continue to be part of the federal government’s vision for Canada. We can make our voice heard and speak up for free access to books by sending a message to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Go to http://www.gnb.ca/publiclibraries and click on ‘Support the Library Book Rate’ on the right hand side.
