The student’s meeting in Fredericton by Jen Abric

My name is Jen Abric and I am currently taking my upgrading at the Saint John Learning Exchange. I was asked if I wanted to attend the Learners' Network Meeting in Fredericton February 23/24 2005 that was put on by the Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick. I left Saint John on February 23 on the bus, and I was on my way to Fredericton. I arrived in Fredericton at 7 p.m., caught a cab and went to the Fredericton Inn, where I was staying that night.

I got there and settled in my room and then I went to a meeting and met all the people that would be going to the workshop. On February 24th we went to the Lieutenant Governor's house for a tour. It was a very beautiful house. After the tour we went back to the Fredericton Inn and did the workshop on how to live on a Shoestring Budget by Dorothy Silver. It was a very interesting workshop. I learned a lot of really good things on how to save money. I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to the Learner's meeting in Fredericton. I met some really great people and look forward to seeing them again.
