Updates/News
Dear Local Support Group Leaders and Members,
HENB has been in a transition mode this past Fall. As a result, there are some Membership services that have been a little slow in coming and for that the Board would like to apologize.
Jodie Grondin, HENB Board member from Beaverbrook, is now managing the HENB Blog http://homeschoolnb.blogspot.com. Visit the Blog often for HENB announcements and information. Your support group is welcome to link with us if you have a Blog or website. Just send your requests to info@henb.org and Jodie will add you. Any upcoming announcements from your group that you would like to share with others around the Province that may be interested may also be sent to the same email for posting.
We now have Derrick Gunter (husband of Board Member, Andrea Gunter from Bloomfield) handling our data base and membership list. He has that all up and running. Anyone that has sent in their current year's membership should now have this year's membership card. If not, please drop a note to info@henb.org and we will look into it for you.
Another transition we have been going through is the Newsletter which formerly was printed and mailed to HENB members. In a desire to best use the funds that HENB has available, the Board made the decision last year not to publish and mail the newsletter effective Fall 2008. That was quite a significant savings of finances. The next challenge has been how to deliver it via the internet. This Fall we tried putting it on HENB's blog (homeschoolnb.blogspot.com) and there are some articles posted there that you can look at. However, at our Board meeting this past Saturday the Board decided to do put the Newsletter in a PDF format and email it to our members. We hope to have the first edition in the new format out to you by February 9th. There will be a Spring Edition in April.
Arlene Brown and Betty Lou Ferris are going to work together on the Publication. They would like to include the updates from the support groups as previously done. This gives the chance to see what other groups around the Province have done or are going to do. They will also continue with "Humor in the Home" and "Home Schoolers in the News". They are open to any additional ideas members might have that will keep this newsletter fresh and exciting.
ALL THAT TO SAY THIS:
If you would please send the name of the person in your support group that will be responsible for newsletter submissions to Arlene Brown at mrmrsdnb@nb.sympatico.ca. That way she can email you deadline reminders without bothering everyone on the leadership list.
The Deadline for the Winter issue is this Friday, Jan. 30. Please send submissions to Arlene Brown.
Second, please pass this info on to your support groups and encourage those who are not already members to join. By doing so, they too can support the work of HENB volunteers and can take advantage of this opportunity. The membership form can be found on the HENB website under the Membership link. Membership fees should be mailed to Derrick Gunter and his address is on the form.
Mark your calendar for the HENB Conference in Sussex on June 5th & 6th. This year's Speaker Coordinator is Andrea Gunter. She shared with us an exciting schedule of workshops and speakers at our recent Board Meeting. WATCH OUR WEBSITE (www.henb.org) FOR MORE CONFERENCE INFO WILL BE COMING SOON ON !!
Again, thank you for your part in supporting Home Schooling in New Brunswick.
