All other participants only pay a $10 donation to register! All net proceeds from this event will go towards BIBLF’s Books from Birth program.
Books from Birth started in 2008 and since then, BIBLF has been able to provide new books to over 3,000 families through this outreach program. Children in this program are mailed new, age-appropriate books at important developmental stages at no cost to the family when they return a postcard provided at a participating hospital! Looking to expand this program to more hospitals in more towns, BIBLF hopes to raise funds and awareness of the importance of an early introduction to literacy. Statistics show early introductions to literacy provide an increase in educational outcomes and continuous reading habits into adulthood.

Congressional Candidate Sues Mount Washington Valley Economic Council For Exclusion
CONWAY, NH – A Republican Congressional candidate who did not get invited to compete in yesterdays debate is suing the Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council. First congressional district candidate Andy Martin filed the suit in Merrimack Superior Court against the MWV Economic Council Executive Director Jac Cuddy, the economic council, TD Bank, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Mt. Washington Chamber of Commerce, Ham Charitable Foundation and Epstein. Martin, from Manchester, claims that it is unethical for the non-profit, tax-exempt entities to pick winners and losers in debates sponsored by the charitable entities, and that it violates both federal and state law.
Martin was not invited to debate due to the economic council’s rule that participants must have raised a certain amount of funding. In all there are 5 republican candidates vying for the seat in congress, but only two candidates had reached that level of funding in order to participate.
Last week the Economic Council held a debate with seven Democratic candidates.
Jac Cuddy told the Conway Daily Sun that because all seven candidates had raised at least 5 percent of the funds that the leading fundraiser had raised, they were invited to debate. Adding that they did they same thing for the four republican candidates, however only two met that requirement.
The Primary will be on September 11th.
