Here's a word from SK Home Based Educators:
Twenty years ago, there was no SK Home Based Educators.
There was no organization to stand for the rights of homeschool families in SK.
There was no organization to turn to for information to know if we even had any rights.
There was no organization to host a provincial convention
to inspire and encourage families to pursue their vision.
There was no organization to bring a sense of connection and unity
to homeschool families across the province.
There was no organization to care for the cares of homeschool families in SK.
Move the calendar ahead, 19 years, and we now have SK Home Based Educators.
We do have an organization to stand for the rights of homeschool families in SK.
We do have an organization to turn to for information to know those rights.
We do have an organization to host a provincial convention
to inspire and encourage families to pursue their vision.
We do have an organization to bring a sense of connection and unity
to homeschool families across the province.
We do have an organization to care for the cares of homeschool families in SK.
SHBE is just as important now as it was 19 years ago.
The founders and visionaries didn't see what they were doing as a sacrifice.
They saw what they were doing as, "We get to help homeschoolers in SK!"
And they spent many many hours and gas money and phone money to fulfill their mandate to this cause.
Today, there are many many hours freely given to fulfill this same mandate.
It hasn't changed.
SHBE volunteers still, "Get to help homeschoolers in SK!"
SHBE's representation with government officials
is strengthened with increasing numbers of membership.
SHBE's budgeting income is based solely on membership fees.
If you appreciate the efforts of SHBE's accomplishments in the past, and
if you expect SHBE's accomplishments in the present, and
if you hope SHBE will be there for your children's children
in strength and confidence,
one thing that we can all do,
every year,
is renew our membership.
The ground is level in the SHBE domain:
Every board member and every convention committee member pays the same
membership fee as you.
One membership renewal won't make a huge difference
in determining our budgetary needs and opportunities;
but together we can continue to be the organization
that is known for standing for the things that are important to homeschool families in SK.
Thank you! to all who have renewed their subscription!
(If you attended the 2009 SHBE convention, you’ve already renewed.)
To help SHBE continue to be an effective voice for homeschooling in SK,
join us / renew with us
today!
